Excerpt from The Development of the Sunday-School: 1780-1905 The great embarrassment Of the Committee has been with the abundance and riches of material placed at its disposal, and its chief trial the necessity, under its abso lute limitations, of abridging addresses made at the convention and articles prepared for its use. For instance, not to refer to a multitude Of touching episodes of the convention, whose permanent record would be a delight to many, the searching and devout interpreta tions Of Holy Scripture by Rev. Dr. Tomkins that en riched the Quiet Hour and in their entirety make a volume of Spiritual Helps, would have been robbed Of their value by any attempt at abridgment. The Committee expresses its gratitude to the hundred authors of the book for their ready and prompt co operation, at cost to many of them of some portion of needed summer rest, and especially to the authors of the convention addresses, who had grace to take joyfully the needful spoiling Of their goods.
