London: CHURCH OF ENGLAND SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE, 1898. "Friendly the teacher stood, like an angel of light, there among them, Even as the green, growing bud is unfolded when spring-tide approaches, Line by line from the soul of childhood." ("The Children of the Lord's Supper.") 1 TRANSFER FROM C JUN 1935 THE WRITER of this Course of Instruction would venture to hint (a) That his work will not be found suitable for the teaching of classes of very young children.
