Children's Story-sermons Hugh Thomson Kerr

Foreword The Story-S ermons contained in this book have all been told from the pulpit of the Fullerton A venue Presbyterian Church, Chicago, to the children who unfailingly attend the Sunday morning service. They are published at the earnest request and urgent solicitation of the children and the childrens friends. The greatest work in the world is the interpretation of God to the soul of the child. The new emphasis which child culture is receiving calls for increasing effort on the part of the pastor, to care for the children of his church. The Sunday-school is insufficient. The atmosphere of the church service is essential for the true religious development of the child. The pastor, the teacher, and the parent must be workers together with God. If any apology were needed for the publication of another volume of childrens storysermons, it can be found in the now familiar words of Dr. Stanley Hall, Of all the things that a teacher should know how to do, the most important, without any exception, is to know how to tell a story.
