In the Home, Sunday-School and Church are children of all ages, from six to sixteen. It is found impracticable to give to all this varied company the same teaching. The lessons that are admirably adapted for boys and girls between ten and fifteen are utterly unsuited to the children between six and ten. Moreover after looking carefully, I have not been able to find satisfactory lessons which can be taught to the young children except by one especially trained for the work; and such instructions are hard to find. After various experiments I adopted in my own teaching the following plan. We divided the children into two sections; the First Section including all over nine years old, the Second Section all those under nine. I selected for twelve lessons, twelve Bible stories following in succession, beginning with the story of Adam and Eve. On each of these stories I prepared a catechism of very simple questions and answers, and printed them by a duplicating process. After the opening of "The Children's Hour," I told the story to all present in simple language, explaining that while the story was told to all it was for the special benefit of the smaller children; but =I noticed even the oldest boys and girls listened to it with interest equal to the youngest=. After the Bible story and the singing of a hymn, the Second Section withdrew to another room. There the children were divided into classes, and taught the questions and answers. A copy of the leaflet containing the questions and answers of the story for the day was given to each child, to be taken home and reviewed by parents or the older members of the family. By separating the children into two grades, the older young people can receive instruction suited to their age, and the little ones are also provided for. So many pastors and others have requested copies of the leaflets containing the questions and answers, that it has seemed desirable to publish them; and they are now completed upon the entire Bible story, and brought together in book form for the use of teachers of children. These lessons may be used in classes of the Sunday School, by teachers who desire a more consecutive treatment of the Bible story than is given in the International Sunday School lessons, and by parents. There are many families where "The Story of the Bible" has been read to the interest and profit of the children. Parents will find that these lessons will help to fix the important facts of the Bible story in the minds of the little ones. It will be seen that the questions and answers do not embrace all the stories in the book. A selection has been made of what seem to be the most important subjects, affording weekly lessons for one year, with allowance for vacations, in the Old Testament, and another year in the New Testament. In the hope that these lessons may aid the children of to-day, who are to be the men and women of to-morrow, to gain a definite knowledge of the Word of God these lessons are sent forth. JESSE LYMAN HURLBUT. ======================================================================== CHAPTER 2: SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHING. ======================================================================== 1. Let the teacher in advance read over the questions and answers of the lesson, note their relation to the story as told in "The Story of the Bible," and to some extent fit the story to the lesson which is to be taught. 2. Tell the story (or stories) of the day's lesson to the children, following the plan given in the book. Use very simple words and avoid all that are in any sense technical, or above the mind of a child. 3. After telling the story for the day, the children may be divided into classes, and assistants may teach the questions and answers. But before the close of the session it would be well to ask all the questions, and have the answers given by the children. 4. In order to complete each course, in the Old Testament and in the New, within a year, it may be necessary to omit some of the lessons, where classes take a vacation in the summer. To complete the course of each year in such classes the Reviews at the end of each series of lessons might be omitted, although they will be valuable as summaries of the important facts of the lesson. Some teachers might prefer to omit from the Old Testament lessons, some of the following in order to complete the course in a year. Lesson XXVIII David and Absalom; XXX The Temple; XXXVI Elisha and Jonah; XXXVIII, XXXIX The Kings of Judah; XLIV Queen Esther. These are suggested for omission not because they are unimportant or uninteresting, but in case some lessons must be omitted. In order to complete the course in one year in the New Testament lessons, the following might be omitted, if some must be. XVI The Mothers Prayer; XX The Good Shepherd; XXIII Jesus and the Children; XXVI, XXVII The Last Teachings. ======================================================================== CHAPTER 3: PART FIRST.--FROM ADAM TO MOSES. ======================================================================== Lesson I. The Beautiful Garden.(Tell Story 1 in "Hurlbut's Story of the Bible.")=To the Teacher:=Under the title of each lesson throughout these pages will be seen instructions to tell certain lessons, with numbers. These numbered lessons and parts correspond with the numbered lessons and parts in "Hurlbut's Story of the Bible."Let the teacher begin by asking, "Who can tell us what is the first verse of the Bible?" When hands are raised, call on three or four children to repeat the verse in turn; then let all the class repeat it in concert. Explain what the verse means, that God made the world, and all the things in it. Tell the story of the creation of the world; of the first man and the first woman; the Garden of [=E]´d[)e]n, and how [)A]d´[)a]m and [=E]ve lost their home, and were driven out. Then teach the class the answers to the following questions. At the close of the lesson, see that every young pupil is shown just where the questions and answers on the lesson are found. The answers should be reviewed by parents, or older brothers and sisters, until the child can repeat them thoroughly, and can tell in his own language, the story of the lesson.Questions and Answers.=1.= What is the first verse in the Bible? ="In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."==2.= What does this mean? =That God made all things.==3.= In how many days does the Bible tell us that God made the world? =In six days.==4.= On what day did God rest from his work? =On the seventh day.==5.= Whom did God make as the first man? =[)A]d´[)a]m.==6.= Who was the first woman? =[=E]ve.==7.= What place did God give to [)A]d´[)a]m and [=E]ve as their home? =The garden of [=E]´d[)e]n.==8.= How long did [)A]d´[)a]m and [=E]ve live in the beautiful garden? =As long as they did what God told them to do.==9.= What became of them when they did not obey God's word? =They were driven out of the garden.=Lesson II. The Earliest People.(Tell Stories 2 and 3.)=To the Teacher:=1. In the story of C[=a]in and [=A]´b[)e]l, explain carefully what is meant by "an altar"; and how in early times people came to God in prayer. With little children, use the word "praying," rather than "worship," and "gift to God" or "offering," rather than "sacrifice."2. In the story of "The Great Ship," explain what "an ark" was, properly a chest or box; in this story, a great ship, built not to sail fast, but to float on the water, and to hold a great amount. Perhaps it was made so large, not only to carry many animals and their food, but also very many people, if the people had been willing to be saved by it.=1.= Who was the first child of [)A]d´[)a]m and [=E]ve after they were sent out of the garden of [=E]´d[)e]n? =C[=a]in.==2.= What was the name of C[=a]in's younger brother? =[=A]´b[)e]l.==3.= What wicked thing did C[=a]in do when the two boys grew up to be men? =He killed his brother [=A]´b[)e]l.==4.= What does the Bible tell of the earliest people who were on the earth? =They lived to be hundreds of years old.==5.= Who lived the longest of any of those people? =M[+e]-th[u:]´se-lah, who lived more than nine hundred years.==6.= Were those who lived at that time good people? =Nearly all of them were very wicked.==7.= What good man lived in those times? =[=E]´n[)o]ch, who walked with God.==8.= What was the end of [=E]´n[)o]ch's life? =He did not die, but God took him to himself.==9.= What came upon the earth on account of the wickedness of its people? =A great flood.==10.= What good man with his family was saved from the flood? =N[=o]´ah who built the Ark.==11.= On what mountain did N[=o]´ah and his family leave the ark after the flood? =On Mount Âr´a-r[)a]t.=Lesson III.

The Angel by the Altar and in Nazareth.(Tell Story 1 of Part VI, in "Hurlbut's Story of the Bible.")=To the Teacher:=In beginning the lesson the teacher should state the subject of the lesson for the day, and ask one or two questions about it, to get the children interested at the outset. Then, the teacher should tell the story from "Hurlbut's Story of the Bible," explaining how God sent his Angel G[=a]´br[)i]-el to Z[)a]ch-a-r[=i]´as, the old priest in the temple, to tell him that his wife [+E]-l[)i][s+]´a-b[)e]th should have a son, and that the name of the son should be J[)o]hn. Explain that J[)o]hn was to be sent into the world to prepare people for the coming of Chr[=i]st. Then tell how the same Angel G[=a]´br[)i]-el was sent to the City of N[)a]z´a-r[)e]th to a young woman named M[=a]´r[)y] to tell her that she was to have a son who was to be called J[=e]´[s+]us. Then teach the class the answers to the following questions on the subject of this lesson, and explain to the little pupils just where to find the answers to the questions of the first lesson, and have them answer the questions in class either singly or in chorus. The children should understand that the questions are to be asked them by parents or older brothers and sisters until they have fixed in their minds the story of the lesson, and are able to tell it in their own language.=1.= What angel was sent by God to J[+e]-r[u:]´s[+a]-l[)e]m? =The angel G[=a]´br[)i]-el.==2.= To whom was the angel G[=a]´br[)i]-el sent? =To a priest named Z[)a]ch-a-r[=i]´as.==3.= What did the angel tell Z[)a]ch-a-r[=i]´as? =That his wife should have a son.==4.= What was the name of the wife of Z[)a]ch-a-r[=i]´as? =[+E]-l[)i][s+]´a-b[)e]th.==5.= What name was to be given to this son promised to Z[)a]ch-a-r[=i]´as and [+E]-l[)i][s+]´a-b[)e]th? =The name of J[)o]hn.==6.= For what did the angel say that J[)o]hn, when he grew up, should make the people ready? =For the coming of the Lord.==7.= To what city was the angel G[=a]´br[)i]-el sent after this? =To the city of N[)a]z´a-r[)e]th.==8.= To whom did the angel speak in N[)a]z´a-r[)e]th? =To a young woman named M[=a]´r[)y].==9.= What did the angel tell M[=a]´r[)y]? =That she should have a son.==10.= What name was to be given to her son? =The name J[=e]´[s+]us.==11.= Where did J[)o]hn, the son of Z[)a]ch-a-r[=i]´as and [+E]-l[)i][s+]´a-b[)e]th, live while he was a boy? =In the desert.=Lesson II. The Stable and Shepherds.(Tell Story 2 in Part Sixth.)Let the teacher ask, "Who can tell the name of the husband of M[=a]´r[)y], the young woman in N[)a]z´a-r[)e]th to whom God sent his angel?" And after receiving an answer ask What place J[=o]´[s+]eph and M[=a]´r[)y] went to and where M[=a]´r[)y]'s child was born? After the answers have been given, tell the story of the lesson and teach the children the answers to the questions on the lesson. The subject should be reviewed in class until each child is able to answer the questions intelligently, and to be able to tell a connected story of the lesson. Reference may also be made to the preceding story in each class, so that the children learn to connect each lesson correctly with the others.=1.= Who was the husband of M[=a]´r[)y], the young woman in N[)a]z´a-r[)e]th to whom the angel came? =A man named J[=o]´[s+]eph.==2.= To what place did J[=o]´[s+]eph and M[=a]´r[)y] go? =To B[)e]th´l[)e]-h[)e]m, near J[+e]-r[u:]´s[+a]-l[)e]m.==3.= Where was the child of M[=a]´r[)y] born? =In a stable in B[)e]th´l[)e]-h[)e]m.==4.= What name was given to this child? =The name J[=e]´[s+]us.==5.= What does the word J[=e]´[s+]us mean? =It means "salvation."==6.= Why was this name given to this child? =Because he is the Saviour of the world.==7.= To what people were brought the first news that the Saviour had come? =To shepherds near B[)e]th´l[)e]-h[)e]m.==8.= What did the shepherds do as soon as they heard the news? =They went to B[)e]th´l[)e]-h[)e]m and saw the little child and his mother.==9.= Who saw the child when he was brought into the Temple, knew that he was the Saviour, and took him up in his arms? =S[)i]m´e-on.==10.= What woman also saw the child and gave thanks to God? =[)A]n´n[.a].=Lesson III.
