What Some of Our Leading Sabbath School Workers Say Regarding Them
“I find ‘Bible Object Lessons and Songs for Little Ones on the Life of Christ’ a most complete and helpful book for teachers of beginners. The songs and illustrations are interesting, impressive, and beautiful. Besides giving instruction regarding the life and teaching of Jesus, these illustrative lessons and songs combine to hold the attention of these little people until the lesson is finished. I can heartily recommend this most excellent work to all Sabbath school workers.”— Ella M. Wilber, Sabbath school secretary Massachusetts Conference.
“Concerning the Bible kindergarten outfit I would say that I like it very much, and should be glad to see it used in all our Sabbath schools. We certainly cannot do too much for our little ones along these lines.”— Mrs. U. Bender, Sabbath school secretary Montana Conference.
“The book ‘Bible Object Lessons and Songs for Little Ones,’ and the material that goes with it, were my helpers the ten years I had charge of the kindergarten Sabbath school in Battle Creek. The child must be interested, for the memory best retains that in which it is interested. What the young child sees is better understood and more readily remembered than what it hears; hence the value of the object lessons. The blocks are attractive and mind-exciting, and may be used in imparting religious truths. I wish every kindergarten class in this conference could have the benefits to be derived from the use of that book and the material that goes with it. It will be especially beneficial when we begin the study of the book of Matthew in January.”— Ella K. Sanders, secretary Sabbath school department in the Indiana Conference.
“As to the helpfulness of the outfit, I can say I do not see how one can get along without it. One little boy about three years old, in my class, whose father was a Catholic and mother a Sabbath keeper, might serve to illustrate. He went to Sabbath school on Sabbath, and his father took him to the Catholic Church on Sunday. He was quietly eating his dinner one day, when he looked up at his mother and said, ‘Mamma, I do not wish to go to papa’s church any more.’ His mother asked him why, and he replied, ‘I love the God who saved the man in the boat, with the birds and sheep.’ The lessons were on Noah and the flood, and it was the use of the kindergarten supplies that impressed this on his young mind. I might give many such examples, but this one serves to show what impressions these make on the young mind, and these early impressions are the ones that are not erased.”— Mabel Hicks, secretary Sabbath school department, Southern Illinois Conference.
“As to the helpfulness of the Bible kindergarten outfit, I can say that it is a great assistant to the teacher. It impresses the lessons upon the little ones more vividly as they are illustrated before them. I have taught in kindergarten classes where this method was followed, and also where it was not, and I have found that there is better order and closer attention given when the Bible kindergarten outfit is used.”— Gladys M. Seely, Sabbath school secretary Northern Illinois Conference.
“I will try to place a set in each school where it can be used.”— Mrs. Bessie P. Wilcox, Sabbath school secretary Southern New England Conference.
“I am glad to recommend the kindergarten book, ‘Bible Object Lessons and Songs for the Little Ones on the Life of Christ.’ While in kindergarten work in the public schools, I came across this book, with the drawings and material. I appreciated it greatly, and I have often recommended it to primary and kindergarten teachers. I know of no better book for our Sabbath school kindergarten.”— Bertie C. Richards, secretary Sabbath school department Eastern Pennsylvania Conference.
“There are several places in this conference where it is being used very successfully, and I believe it could be used with profit in every school where there are children. I shall be glad to recommend it to all our superintendents to be used in the various schools.”— Ida M. Sallton, Sabbath school secretary Upper Columbia Conference.
“I can heartily recommend the book.”— Mrs. E. L. Morrow, Sabbath school secretary Mississippi Conference.
“I think it is the most helpful thing we have ever used to interest the children in the Sabbath school. Now that our lessons are soon to be on the teachings of Christ, I believe our schools will want to avail themselves of this opportunity to make these lessons seem real to the little ones.”— Mrs. Laura A. Magoon, Sabbath school secretary Cumberland Conference.
“I certainly am glad that our people are taking hold of the matter of providing suitable material for the tiny folks in our Sabbath schools.”— Mrs. Lee S. Wheeler, Sabbath school secretary East Michigan Conference.
“We find the ‘Bible Object Lessons and Songs for Little Ones’ of the greatest value in teaching in the kindergarten. Children will remember much longer things that they see than those that they hear. Then if we wish to impress on the minds of our little folk the lessons we are teaching them, we can do so in no better way than by the use of the blocks and material suggested in this book. A teacher who has the use of one of these books will have no difficulty in holding the attention of her pupils. ‘By beholding we become changed’ is indeed true in the kindergarten school. The children are so intensely interested in the building of the houses and in the moving of the men or animals, that they are changed from the restless, uninterested children to a quiet, orderly, intensely interested class. Lessons that have been taught with the use of these blocks and material will be impressed on the mind, and will not be easily forgotten. I heartily recommend this book to all Sabbath schools.”— Miss Lida Ackley, Sabbath school secretary Central California Conference.
The foregoing testimonials are only a few of those that might be given from secretaries and leading Sabbath school workers everywhere. No Sabbath school with small children is complete without this outfit, and no Sabbath school can afford to deprive its teachers of the help to be gained by it, nor the little ones of the benefits to be received from its use.
