Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the American Sunday-School Union and of Its Contributions to Popular Education in the United States, 1865 The system of rewards had been in vogue long before the organization of the American Sunday School Union. Indeed, in Mr. Raikes' schools, gratuities were given for attendance and good be haviour. But we do notfind the ticket-currency, as it might be called, (that is, tickets of various values, redeemable with books, ) was. In use, ex cept in our own country. Scripture tickets were given in British Sunday-schools, * as marks of ap probation, and eight such tickets, received in the month, entitled the recipient to a copy of a Penny Monthly Magazine. But the system here was more complicated. A text of Scripture, printed on a card, with blue ink, was given as a reward for attendance all day, and good conduct; or for every thirty verses of hymns or Scripture recited.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sunday School Union: Its History and Work Those readers of the present volume who may take the trouble to compare it with the Author's former work, will find & difference in the following particulars: - The circumstances connected with the rise and progress of the Sunday school system have generally been omitted, having found a more appropriate place in "The First Fifty Years of the Sunday School," a volume already published by the Union. Instead of the narrative being carried through in a chronological series, the various operations of the Union have been grouped together in distinct chapters, so that the description of each department of work is rendered perfect in itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sunday-School Movement: And the American Sunday-School Union This work was not written to order; it has been a growth. My researches into the origin and principles of the modern Sunday-school began as a college graduate student in a pioneer service, about 1854. These researches have continued for an exceptionally long period of personal observation and service, in about every form and phase of the institution in America and Europe. Rare opportunities were providentially offered for years, especially by becoming the custodian of probably the largest and choicest collection of first-hand documents and material relating to the origin and early development of the movement that is to be found anywhere in America or the world. It is significant that the greatest growth of the modern Sunday-school has not been where it started, but in America. The membership in the United States is easily double that of Great Britain, and equals that in all the other countries of the world. A mass of historical material has been examined in collections in libraries and historical societies in the United States and Great Britain, and the important facts sifted for the benefit of the reader. Legions of excellent works have been issued on phases of the institution and along various educational, denominational, and other lines. These fragmentary treatises have increased the demand for a general work giving a comprehensive view of the institution: (1) as a great laymen's movement, (2) as promoting a spirit of Christian unity for service, and (3) as a great missionary agency for the universal spread of the gospel of Christ - making it a remarkable phenomenon in the progress of Christianity. The modem Sunday-school was not new in its teaching, but was so new in form as to require a long campaign of education and a practical test of its value for a generation before it won the confidence of the public and of the churches. From the first, however, it was advocated by Christian laymen of different creeds, aided here and there by clergymen who had the grace to perceive, and the grit and greatness to declare, that Christ's kingdom was larger and more important than any one or a score of sects into which Protestantism had divided. Its success in any community depended upon uniting existing Christian forces in its support. The founders were forced, therefore, to seek a basis of unity in Christian service. They found it in declaring for a positive teaching of the essential truths of the Bible as held by all Christians, and in a neutral attitude on those doctrines upon which they differed. The majority of the modern Sunday-schools in the early days were formed on this basis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engrossing book traces the social history of Protestant Sunday schools from their origins in the 1790s--when they taught literacy to poor working children--to their consolidation in the 1870s, when they had become the primary source of new church members for the major Protestant denominations. Anne M. Boylan describes not only the schools themselves but also their place within a national network of evangelical institutions, their complementary relationship to local common schools, and their connection with the changing history of youth and women in the nineteenth century. Her book is a signal contribution to our understanding of American religious and social history, education history, women's history, and the history of childhood.
