Excerpt from Rills From the Fountain of Life: Or, Sermons to Children The following sermons have been published at the request of the teachers of the Sunday-schools of St. Paul's Church. For theist two years, there has been a service for the children of i is congregation, on the afternoon of the first Sunday in the month. On these occasions, the children occupy the body of the church. The usual service is performed, and a sermon preached, designed especially for the benefit of the children. It is called, "The Children's Church." It was begun, at first, with much doubt and fear, as a matter of experiment. The result has proved, in the highest degree, satisfactory and encouraging. The children have manifested the liveliest interest in these services. In reply to questions asked, they always give an intelligent account of the outlines of the last sermon preached. The adult attendance, on these occasions, is larger than at any other afternoon service in this church. While the preacher has found the effort at arrangement, and simplification, necessary in order to secure the attention of so youthful an auditory, of great profit to himself, in sermon izing for "children of a larger growth."
