Abridgement of Matthew Henry ' s Catechism , first made by Mr . Mottershead , and afterwards further corrected and published with
a useful specimen of the mode of examining children on moral sentences from Scripture ^ by Mr . Phillip Holland , has been found very useful , and may be particularly suited for your particular citse ; otherwise the Practical Instruction for Youth ) published by the Unitarian Society has often been employed with great satisfaction . For rewards for proficiency , Mrs . Barbauld's Hymns , Dr . Watts' Divine Songs , Mr , Aspfand ' s little book of Hymns and Prayers , several of the little books
printed by Darton and Harvey , the publications of the Christian Tract Society , &c . &c . may be used . ¦¦ Following the catechetical class the Abstract of the History of the Bible by Mr . Turner may be usefully introduced , especially by those who will have the patience
to use , with intelligence and perseverance the questions at the end for the examination of its young readers . Next to this Mr . John Holland ' s Doctrinal and Practical Series of Scripture Questions , ° f Buller ' s on the whole Bible .

deliberate consideration before they an adopted : the whole CK ) no ^ repation being at least they ought be ) equally engaged in the performance of the devotional parts > whether piaytr or singing , as the minisins have a right to "be consulted
before any considerable alteration be attempted . But the best mode of convening information and instruction is properly the minister ' s province ; and for this end may it not be of use to make the experiment , at least , of reviving the ancient practise of exposition ?—at first , perhaps , only a few short incidental remarks , and those rather practical than doctrinal ; though , when any material difficulty or _ curs , the passage should be
briefly but clearly explained . After a while it may not , perhaps , fx amiss to substitute an exposition fur a sermon , at least one part of the day . This is the practice ' in ihc
