The Bible object book : $b A book of object lessons which are different, written in plain English and in common words
Woolston, C. H. (Clarence Herbert)
Children's sermons
In this work he gives the worker something entirely new and off from
the beaten path of the regulars, something which would cost months of
study and research and literally hundreds of dollars to acquire.
In addition to the wisdom of this and other works he has published
and thus given to the world, he will always be glad to help in any of
the problems of winning for Jesus the children that may present
themselves. His study is an open post-office. Write to him.
And so, for these reasons and many others I am especially glad to
commend this newest book of Doctor Woolston. I hope the readers of
this book may be able to have him in their churches or in Bible
conferences some time. To know him personally is a rare pleasure. He
is, in my estimation, the greatest talker to children we have in this
country at this present time. His new methods of reaching children
and adults through their eyes has given him the highest place among
gospel illustrators.

=PREFACE=
These short addresses are designed to help the busy pastor get a
flying start in his effort to fill the minds of his church children
with compelling imagery and their eyes with the sweet lessons by
Seeing Gospel Truth.
I have made no attempt at phrase-making, nor have I sought to create
a literary marvel.
I have used the greatest simplicity of language at my command, in
some cases employing the unpolished words of the children themselves.
This I have done because many of these chapters have been framed for
their eyes and ears, and it has always been my ambition that the
children should hear the truth in their own tongue.
Perhaps my words and sentences would not pass the Sanhedrin of the
universities, but my ideas are on the run to catch the child before
the ever-shortening days of youth have passed, and perhaps sometimes
I have run by some of the standards of the school.
When Evangelist D. L. Moody was in London, England, the first time
some of the critical divines made sport of the fact that Mr. Moody in
pronouncing the word "Jerusalem" did so in two syllables. The secular
press also took up the matter and made high glee over it. C. H.
Spurgeon, then in all his glory at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, in
one of his sermons used the following language, "I am glad there is
one minister in London who is in such haste to give the gospel to the
people that he does not stop to pronounce every syllable."
The King's business requires haste, and this business of gaining the
King's children requires double haste. This will explain some of the
sentences of this book that may cause you to stop and think why I
said them. C. H. Spurgeon has given you my answer.
These talks aim to fill the eye as well as the ear. This is the
reason that a line of simple objects is used.
