Three Fishing Boats
And Other Talks to Children
Rev. JOHN C. Lambert. B.D.
1895
Author of "The Omnipotent Cross and other Sermons,"
TO MY MOTHER.
PREFACE.
THE following addresses are such as
The writer is in the habit of giving
every Sabbath, at the morning service, to
The children of his congregation. The
circumstances of their production and
delivery account for their brevity and want
of elaboration. They are not intended
as examples of what children's addresses
ought to be; they are simply specimens
of a kind of address which the writer has
found helpful in increasing the interest of
the children of his own congregation in
the public worship of the church.
Perhaps it should be added, as an
explanation both of their matter and
manner, that they were spoken mainly for
the sake of the younger children. The
writer, partly because of the unusual pro-
portion of very young children in his
morning audience, and partly because of
his belief that older children are, in
general, as appreciative of an ordinary
sermon as their fathers and mothers, has
found it most useful in the children's
portion of the service to keep before his
mind and heart those who are very
young.
