Excerpt from The Sunday School Prayer Book The Book of Common Prayer contains no provision for worship in the Sunday-school, and the multitude of published liturgies would seem to be sufficient evidence that a prayer book, especially adapted to children, is a universal want in the church. The more the Sunday-school system is perfected, the more will this want be felt. The children practically form a congregation by themselves, with a worship and teach ing of their own. They need, therefore, a prayer-book of their own not by any means as a substitute for the great manual, (any more than attendance at Sunday-school is a substitute for attendance at church, ) but rather as an intro duction to it a sort of primer prayer-book, so closely resem bling it in form and arrangement as to engage their interest and affection, and yet so child-like in character as to be out grown with childhood.
