Excerpt from The Guide: A Service Book for Sunday Schools
One object in preparing this book was to provide a form of service in which the several departments of the school would have a part, and at the same time make it instructive and interesting, as well as more formal than the forms usually followed. Another object was to furnish a service which would give prominence to some of our distinctive doctrines, and make clear portions of Scriptures which are often misunderstood and misapplied. It is true the necessity for this is not so apparent as it once was, yet it will not do to remain altogether silent. Although our views are not so openly and frequently attacked in these days as in the time of our fathers, yet the creeds remain the same, and the same Scriptures are used to sustain them. Hence the necessity of introducing into our services such lessons as will prevent our children from growing up in ignorance of our interpretation of God's holy Word. To meet this need, not only have many of the services in this book been prepared, but in the opening service for every Sunday, Gods impartial grace and saving power and purpose are clearly indicated, so that no scholar of ordinary mind can attend a school for six months where these services are used, without knowing something of the grounds of our Faith.
