[The Infant System by Samuel Wilderspin]@TWC D-Link bookThe Infant System CHAPTER V 35/35
In all things, but more especially in religion, as being the subject of the highest importance, the purest, simplest, and most unadulterated truths should be taught.
The Bible contains ample and abundant stores of such simple truth, most admirably suited to infant capacity in texts, precepts, parables, and histories.
The pious and judicious mother or teacher can be at no loss for a proper selection.
Many beautiful and simple prayers are to be found in the Church of England Prayer-Book, which I think cannot be mended, and which I have found quite suitable to the infant mind. Several of the Collects, for simplicity of language and rich fulness of divine truth, cannot be surpassed.
Simple hymns for instruction and devotion are also requisite, and I have endeavoured to provide such as these in a _Manual_, recently published in connexion with a friend, and which may be bad through the publisher of this work..
