CO., ELECTROTYPERS AND PRINTERS, PHILADELPHIA. PREFACE A successful Sunday-school largely depends upon its Service Book; and such Book must possess those features calculated to secure this end. It must be inexpensive, that every scholar, however limited the resources of the school, may have a Service Book to himself, and not be forced, in order to participate in its prayers and praises, to depend upon the courtesy of another — sometimes at the expense of both bodily comfort and a devotional spirit. It must be simple in arrangement, that there be no difficulty in at once finding any office or hymn. It should be flexible in character, to be adapted to the various needs and occa- sions of Sunday-school and Children's Church-worship, and to afford variety without being either cumbersome or costly. It should be respon- sive and uninterrupted in movement, that the flow of devotion may not stagnate, and -the minds of the children be continually engaged by having an equal part to perform with the Leader of the service. If to these important features of a Service Book it be added, that its prayers should be simple and direct, expressing in plain language the actual needs of Teachers and Scholars, without neglecting — as is too common in Sunday-school services — a full measure of thanksgiving for mercies and blessings received ; that its hymns should be suited to dif- ferent ages, tastes and grades of intelligence, while yet pure in sentiment and teaching, elevated in character, and impressive and inspiring in measure and spirit; then, have we a Service Book possessing the requisites for usefulness and success in the work of the Sunday-school. The aim of the Editor of the present Manual has been to supply just such a book. The work was undertaken at the request of the Superin- tendents and Teachers of his Sunday-schools, and has been prosecuted in the belief that a book of this kind was needed, and would be benefi- cial to schools in general. It was hoped, also, that it would be useful to children and parents at home. PREFACE. Two full and comparatively long services are given for the Morning and Afternoon sessions of the Sunday-school. Each of these services may be divided into three, the division being plainly indicated by rubric, and easily followed by the Leader, — with no break perceptible, or instruc- tion necessary, to the scholar. This affords those who do not prefer the richer services an opportunity of using many shorter ones, with the advantage of variety and of adaptation to special occasions. All prayers, except those of the closing services, are in the form of a Litany, or to be said aloud with the Leader. Pastors and Superintendents should see that these prayers and responses are committed and said by their schol- ars. By also chanting the Psalter responsively, increased life and interest will be given the services. In each part of the Prayer Book, the design has been not only to pre- sent a suitable vehicle for children's devotions, but by such means also, to train them in the services of the Church, and make them familiar with its Liturgy. In selecting the hymns of the Praise Book, care has been taken to choose those most valuable for their gospel teaching and literary excellence; but sometimes the latter quality has been more or less sacrificed to the former when both could not be obtained in verses adapted to an inspiring piece of music. It is believed, however, that the hymns of the Praise Book are not excelled for variety, excellence, beauty and impressive religious teaching by any like collection. The Editor would here convey his grateful thanks for the use of the hymns in this volume, to their authors and publishers. Full lists of both are given in the Indexes, with the Titles of the Books from which the hymns are taken. His thanks are also due to Messrs. Lewis H. Redner and George C. Thomas for counsel and assistance in the man- agement of the work; and especially to M'r. John Graff and Prof. George Colgan for very valuable professional aid in the selection of music appropriate for its hymns, and in preparing its musical portions for the Press. W. F. P.

B.—Both the Opening and Closing Morning Ser- vice, may be used in the Afternoon; and also, the Evening Services may be used in the Morning. Such changes ivould, for variety, be sometimes well in Schools having two Sessions on the Lord's Day.

And to encourage such confession and secure our fullest confidence in His readiness to receive and bless us, the dear Lord says : " Come unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you." " I love them that love me, and they that seek me early shall find me." "Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." Wherefore, I pray and beseech you, as many as are here 22 OPENING SERVICE. present, to accompany me with a pure heart and humble voice, unto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying, % Here all are to kneel, and if the Children's Church Service, make this ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father; We have erred and strayed from Thy ways like lost sheep.

According to their ability and opportunity may they, in their tender years, convey to those around them some measure of the life- giving truth they have received. Deepen in their minds a sense of the spiritual darkness and slavery of those redeemed by the blood of Jesus in heathen nations ; and make them willing to labor and deny themselves in order to send them the Gospel. May there be some here, who, led by Thy Spirit, shall give themselves in their maturer years to the work of the ministry ; and bear the glad tidings of salvation to the ignorant and the lost in our own and in distant lands. Grant us all the spirit of our dear Lord, who, though rich and enthroned in glory, became poor and an outcast upon earth, that He might make many rich in the favor of God, and in the joys of heaven. Inspire Thy people to great efforts for the conversion of the world ; and hasten the time when the truth shall everywhere be preached, and the king- dom of Thy dear Son everywhere be set up. And this we beg for the great Redeemer's sake. Amen.

Help us all to realize how short and uncertain our life is, and ever be in readiness to cheerfully obey the call to part with earth and earthly things.

O morning stars together Proclaim the holy birth ! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given; So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven.

OXCE in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, 71 CHRISTMAS. Where a mother laid her baby, In a manger for His bed ; Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall ; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And, through all His wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms He lay ; Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He. 4 For He is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew ; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew; And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 5 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love, For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above ; 72 CHRISTMAS. And He leads His children on To the place where He has gone. Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him ; but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high : When like stars His children crowned All in white shall wait around.

Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine ? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure ; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 6 81 EPIPHANY, 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid : Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
