The announcement that a lesson-help for the children is in contemplation makes me glad. In my class (ages eight to twelve) I see every week the need of a lesson help for them—for their aid in studying the lessons for themselves. This, then, is my foremost suggestion: That the new quarterly he "built" on the plan of leading and helping the children to and in the study of the Sunday school lessons. If my class of bright and earnest boys and one girl could be given the simple help they need each week in preparing the lesson, the benefit of the Sunday teaching would be vastly increased. Secondly—I did think it would be well to have the lessons printed on single leaves. I am not sure but this would be an advantage, too. I find that the children readily grasp the practical, spiritual import of the lessons. A leaf containing the practical explanations of the Scripture lessons, suited to children, would be as good a tract as could be let fall into an "outsider's" hands.
I do not feel competent to make out a "model lesson." The above thoughts may be of some use to you in your attempt to voice the Good.—
