"To those who delight in seeing a group of happy children nestled round their mother's knee, gleaning from her lips the lessons of piety and wisdom, and reading in her gentle eyes the laws of love and kindness--to such this little book will prove a welcome boon; and it may serve to lighten the task of maternal solicitude on many a dawning Sabbath, since it contains a lucid explanation of the Lessons for every Sunday throughout the year, and is adapted to the minds of those "very babes and sucklings, out of whose mouth God has ordained praise."--Preface.
