application to her simple tasks in Geography, Natural History, and 

 Writing, won the desired reward. Such a suffrage from a simple 

 hearted and intelligent little one, weighs more, in my opinion, than 

 the praise of practised critics." 



From the Rev. Mr. Finneifs Lectures on Retivals, 



" Perhaps most of you have seen a very lovely little book recently 

 published, entitled " Todd's Lectures to Children." It is very fine, 

 exquisitely fine, and happy in its illusirations of truth. But it has 

 one very serious fault. Many of its illustrations, I may say most of 

 them, are not calculated to make a correct impression respecting the 

 guilt of sinners, or to make them feel how much they have been to 

 blame. This is very unfortunate. If the writer had guarded his il- 

 lustrations on this point, so as to make them impress sinners with a 

 sense of their guilt, I do not see how a child could read through that 

 book and not be converted." 



From the Boston Recorder. 



" We cannot have a more favorable opportunity than in this 

 connection, to reccommend the " Lectures to Children," by John 

 Todd, Pastor of the Edwards Church in Northampton, as a spe- 

 cimen of the proper style of preaching to children. It is a book 

 which every pastor and every christian parent should study, in order 

 to learn how to adabt instruction on the most important christian 

 doctrines, to the capacities of a child."
