Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Creed and the Year: A Manual of Instruction for Sunday Schools
The advantages of these two features are apparent teachers find themselves beginning the book when they begin their teaching; and the Christian Year is the Creed over again, or our belief in company with our days. The matter must speak for itself. Free use has been made of various Manuals, though generally with much re-arrangement and change of language; but a large part of the composition of the book is original. Attention is especially called to a natural and inter esting order of the questions, which it has been the aim of the author to give to them throughout. The Manual is not graded for scholars of different ages, the author believing that it belongs to the teacher to adapt the instruction to the class, and that there is no material here furnished that may not be suggestive to a teacher of the youngest scholars while the older classes will find that which Will take them as deeply into the various subjects as it is desirable for them to go. A bar at the side of themore difficult questions indicates which may be Omitted at the discretion of the teacher, which seems a simpler plan than having two or three different editions graded for the different ages. It has also another advantage: in going over the book a second year, or even a third, with the same classes, - which is very desirable, in order to imprint the truths upon the children's minds - the questions with the bar against them which had been omitted may be used. Tonew scholars and schools the book is, of course, always new. In schools where there is a long inter mission in the summer, teachers may form a' new course, for use on all but the greater days of the Christian year, for a third or fourth year's study, out of lessons that had been omitted. Although the Manual is upon the Apostles' Creed, it gives in each instance where it occurs the fuller statement of the Nicene Creed, and the reasons there for; and, although it is upon the basis of the Creed alone, it will be found that a thorough study of that takes us over a large part of the ground of the Cate chism and of the Bible. For the convenience of teachers and scholars, the Catechism in full has been printed at the end of the book.
