Book Description

Excerpt from Bible Lamps for Little Feet Though a little older in years than most of you, I feel more and more as the days go on that I am a child again whenever I look into your young faces. I propose that we, you and I, not the big people, but you and I, open a little school for the study of God's Word. Here, once a week, we shall come to school with just one book, not a big pile in a strap, but just one, the Bible itself, and sitting down at the Master's feet, hear what He has to tell us out of it. Not all of it, for summer and winter, and all eternity, would not be enough to listen to all He can tell us of Himself in His Word. But just some of it. (1) Some people in it; (2) Some things about them; (3) Some easy lessons we can all learn from them. Not only the big people, grown up men and women, like Abraham and David and Peter and James and John and Paul, but just Bible Boys and Girls no bigger than you (and I about forty years ago). For you know, every man and woman in the Bible, except two, was once a baby boy or girl, just as we were, and learned to creep and walk and talk and fall down and get up again and laugh and cry just as we all have done. Except the two I have referred to, they all had many boyish and girlish days of sunshine and clouds, of pleasure and pain, and became stronger men and women through these things than they would have been without them. So now suppose we open school right away and have our first school lesson. Asking the blessing of God with our heads bowed and our hearts uplifted, letting Jesus the Master, come and take His place in the midst, we will open our Bibles and see what we can find about some of the boys and girls of those far-off days, before our Saviour, Jesus, was here among men.
