Excerpt from Secrets of Sunday-School Teaching
In this book I have tried to point out as plainly as I know how the fundamental principles underlying successful teaching, together with the hundred and one practical methods that successful teachers have developed therefrom.
In the matter of methods I have tried to avoid extremes. I have long recognized the fact that a method is not good because it is new, nor bad because it is old. Every method must stand on its merits, not on its years. If grandfathers sword is eaten through with rust let us not carry it into battle; but if it is a tried and true Damascus blade it should not be discarded for one of your modern make that may be as brittle as it is bright. If our fathers knew how to produce better spiritual fibre than we are producing there is little reason for turning up our noses at old fogy ways. And if the old-time Sunday-schools made rock foundations of faith for the strong men and women of today, there may be something in their methods not too moldy for use.
But I have tried not to lay too much stress on methods.
