Suggestions In Vindication Of Sunday Schools

Excerpt from Suggestions in Vindication of Sunday-Schools: But More Especially for the Improvement of Sunday-School Books, and the Enlargement of the Plan of Instruction The principal objection in regard to'the books issued from the Depository is, that, too generally, they.were of a light and fictitious character. Now, I am not sufficiently conversant with all the publications of the Union to judge correctly on this sub jcet, but I am inclined to believe, that there has existed a mis take ou this point. Too many fictitious stories, and some of them containing few lessons of moral or religious instruction, have been put into circulation. The tendency of this is to Vitiate the taste of the rising generation, so that while they are greedy after fiction, they will have no appetite for solid, instruo tive reading. And, I believe, the committee themselves have for sometime been turning their attention to Works of more substantial value.
