The RODEHEAVER HALL-MACK Co 28 East Jackson Boulevard CHICAGO 124 North Fifteenth Street PHILADELPHIA COPYRIGHT 1925 BY W.P. BLESSING CO. Printed in U.S.A. =Dedication= THIS book is dedicated to the wonderful children of the Cedar Falls (Iowa) Bible Conference. They have seen these lessons during the summers of 1923 and 1924. Many of them thus seeing have entered the Glad Game of the Christian. I wish also to acknowledge the brotherly kindness of Rev. Parley E. Zartmann, D.D., the spiritual director of the Conference which made my meeting with the children possible. This book is now sent forth on its mission, every lesson crowned with the smiles of the Happy Children of Cedar Falls, Iowa. C. H. Woolston, D.D. _Study of the East Baptist Church,_ _Philadelphia, Pa., U. S. A._ =PREFACE= JESUS said to Peter--Lovest thou me--and when Peter had given his answer Jesus said "Feed my Lambs." The Master told him first to Feed the Lambs, afterward he said "Feed my Sheep." Jesus put first things first. Did Peter obey this command? We have no record of him giving especial attention to the Lambs. I imagine he was like the most and best of us--he forgot the Lambs. Let us try to remember what Jesus said. Feed the Lambs. The best way is to get them through the eye. Children see 18 times more through the eye than they hear through the ear. Eighty per cent of all the knowledge we receive from the cradle to the grave comes through the eye. It is the Big Highway with wide gates ever open to the heart of a child. The moving pictures of the day are visited daily in the United States by six million of little children. This one, thing they are doing for the children: they are training them to look and see things; they are learning to be good lookers; they come to us in our Sunday Schools and children's meetings with eyes trained to look and happy is the teacher if he can show them truth. This he can do by object lessons. I have talked to over a million and a half of children by the use of objects; many of them have grown into adulthood and often when I talk to them of other days, they rehearse these lessons to me and I can thus see how well they remember and how deep and lasting is the impression made when truth enters the eye. It enters to stay. These visual lessons outlined in this book will help you to Feed the Lambs.
