Excerpt from The Childhood of Christ: As Seen by the Primitive Masters These quiet talks are not Bible lessons; it was quite by chance that we began them. They are done without any preparation, each of us contributing his or her small share of remarks and suggestions. The method may be criticized, but the children like it, because they feel, no doubt, that they are brought closer to the sacred story when holding in their hands some concrete image and being able to see as well as to hear. It has been suggested to me that other small children, and even the big children some of us still happily remain, might derive pleasure and benefit from our Sunday talks, and I have endeavoured, in this first volume on the Childhood of Christ, to outline briefly some of the results which we have achieved.
