Excerpt from Lessons on the Parables of the Saviour This work was commenced in an endeavour, on the part of the author, to render some assistance to the teachers of the Sunday School connected with the Society of which he is minister, and to them, his assistants, it is affectionately inscribed. It is printed with the hope that it may be useful not only to them, but, if possible, in a wider circle. The leading design that has directed the preparation of the volume has been to provide a text-book of instruction for the young, corresponding, in its spiritual tone and simply Christian aim, with those teachings which, it is believed, are at present addressed to the grown persons of our congregations by sincere and earnest men. It is the confident belief of the writer, that a deep wrong is done to children when they are treated as incapable of grasping the great points of spiritual doctrine revealed in the New Testament, and are put off with the external matters of geography, history, or passages committed to a verbal memory; - as if to be Christians were something that they must wait for, as an attainment of later years.
