With the Children on Sundays: Through Eye-Gate and Ear-Gate into the City of Child-Soul
Stall, Sylvanus
Children -- Religious life; Children's sermons; Moral education
"In this volume the author seeks to attract the young through the
presentation of the old truths of the Gospel in the form which arrest
the eye, secures the attention, impresses the mind, and wins the heart
for Christ and the right. The entrance into the city of Child-soul is
sought by assaulting both the Eye-gate and Ear-gate. At the same time
the illustrations used are impressive, the truths taught are simple, and
the impressions made are likely to be lasting."--_Jersey City Times_.
"It is not every one who is able to present to children sober truths in
a manner interesting to them, for it requires a special talent to either
speak to or write for children, but Dr. Stall has undoubtedly the happy
faculty of doing this. The author's object is to implant in the child's
mind seeds of truth and love, nobleness and justice, and all the virtues
that go to make a manly boy and womanly girl, as well as a God-loving
child."--_Boston Times._

FROM THE CHILDREN OF NEW ENGLAND.
SYLVANUS STALL, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa.
REVEREND SIR:
I wish to thank you in behalf of my school
children for having your short sermons to children
published. I read them to my school children as
part of our devotional exercises, and I often hear
remarks like this: "I wish the author would come
to Moose Meadow. I wish I could hear him. I wish I
could see him and thank him for writing those
sermons. Can't we write to him and thank him?"
etc., and so I have been led to write you,
thanking you in their behalf.
Moose Meadow is a small country place in Eastern
Connecticut, and I wish you to know that the
country children enjoy your sermons equally as
well as city children, and I am very glad that a
copy of your book was put into my hands. I feel
very grateful to God for putting it into the heart
of some one to write such interesting sermons and
beautiful object lessons.
Respectfully,
MRS. A. B. DAWE.
Moose Meadow, Town of Willington,
Connecticut.
A SUGGESTIVE BOOK FOR PREACHERS.
"Pastors in search of something suggestive for talking in a helpful
manner to children will find this book both helpful and
suggestive."--_Reformed Church Messenger._
"A careful reading of this book will enable any minister of anything
like ordinary brightness to adapt much of his preaching to the
comprehension of the young."--_Gospel Messenger._
