It soon appeared clear to me, that such a class required different treatment to those more advanced, and especially the _young_ children.

Nobody wanted this class, it was always "to let," if I did not take it.

The result was, I always had it.

Others looked to the post of honour, the Bible-class.

I soon found that to talk to such children as I had to teach, in the manner the others did to the older and more advanced children, was useless, and thus I was forced to simplify my mode of teaching to suit their state of apprehension, and now and then even to amuse them.
