Q.What ought they to recollect when they eat the bread?
A.They should recollect that they receive the love of God into their wills and affections.

Q.What will be the effect of this?
A.It will drive out all bad passions and evil desires; for it is said, he that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me and I in him (John vi.

27).

Q.Is any thing more to be understood by these things?
A.Much more, which we must endeavour to learn when we get older.

Q.
How will you learn this?
A.By reading the Bible and going to a place of worship.[A] [Footnote A: There are many more of similar lessons, and, if any thing, more simple, which accompany the pictures and apparatus which I supply for Infant Schools; the profits from which will assist to enable me, if I am blessed with health and strength, still further to extend the system.] Allow such things as these to be brought before the infant mind: let the feelings of the heart, as well as the powers of the understanding, be called into exercise; let babes have "the pure milk of the Word" before "the strong meat;" let as little stress as possible be laid on "the mere letter," and as much as possible on "the spirit" of "the truth;" let it be shewn that piety is not merely rational, but in the highest degree practicable; let this be done with diligence, faith, and prayer, and I hesitate not to say, that we shall have an increase of the religion of the _heart_.
Religious instruction may be given in other ways.
