[The Infant System by Samuel Wilderspin]@TWC D-Link bookThe Infant System CHAPTER IX 74/76
Men cannot be too simple with the young and illiterate; there is much room for improvement in these things, and with regard to the young, I can answer for them that, if they are addressed in proper language, which they can understand, and are supplied with proper religious food for the understanding, suitable to its state of receptivity, and, if I may say, digestive powers; they, as a body, will shew us an example which will surprise many.
With regard to the Church, there might be taken from the Prayer Book, a simple service adapted to the purpose.
