The publisher's description: 'The author clearly defines and firmly fixes the real aim of Sunday-school work, describes the needed equipment, states the qualifications of teachers and officers, discusses manners and methods of teaching and closes with a cheery word of encouragement in view of the blessed results of Sunday-school work. The treatment is informal, genial and charming, yet intensely serious. There is a refreshing absence of technical terms and scientific phrases, making the book delightfully readable in all its parts and intelligible to teachers who are not familiar with pedagogical and psychological terms.' Contents: Introduction: The Child in the Midst; 1. Getting the Vision; Procuring the Equipment; Delivering the Goods; Collecting the Profits. Walter Erwin Schuette (1867 - 1955) was ordained to the Lutheran ministry in 1888, serving as pastor at churches in Detroit, Michigan; Bellevue and Toledo, Ohio; and Wheeling, West Virginia. He served in various capacities for the American Lutheran Church organization, including vice president from 1936 - 1944. He was the author of a number of other books, including Her Place Assigned (1896),The Devotional Life of the Church Worker (1921), God Is Faithful (1925), Moments with God (1925), God Save the Home (1940), Keeping the Faith (1941) and 27 juvenile stories and plays.
