portment, standing and progress of pupils at
school. The CONDUCT of the pupil is marked under the head of General
Deportment, with the following degrees: Excellent, Good, Tolerable,
Unsatisfactory, Inattentive, Idle, Disorderly, Disrespectful, Careless.
A written excuse is required for every exercise omitted, or for leaving
school before the hour of dismissal. Parents or guardians are requested
to examine the weekly reports of the Character Book, sign their names to
them, and return the Book on Monday morning. A _good name_ is rather to
be chosen than great riches.
_Price to Teachers: Fifty cts. a dozen._
The First School Book.
_Illustrated with numerous Engravings._
_PRICE TWELVE CENTS._
This is an instructive Primer, for children, combining a series of
progressive spelling lessons, commencing with the alphabet, and
interspersed with simple rhymes and easy sentences in prose, accompanied
with many pictures. The Primer contains Dr. Watts' celebrated Cradle
Hymn, the verses entitled "Mary and her Lamb," the "Busy Bee," &c. Those
who wish to change from the heavy and badly printed "Spelling Books" in
present use, will find this to be more attractive to the young beginner,
and more likely to coax him a step forward in his first lessons.
The Testimony of a Hundred Witnesses:
_Or, the Instrumentalities by which Sinners are brought to Embrace the
Religion of Jesus Christ._
_PRICE FIFTY CENTS._
This Volume contains the history of One Hundred Conversions, written
mostly expressly for this publication, by Christian individuals in the
various evangelical denominations. It is, in a word,
AN "EXPERIENCE MEETING" IN A BOOK,
In which each person relates briefly the experience of his own heart
concerning the great salvation. Among the number are about fifty
ministers, some of the most able and renowned of the past and present
ages. These interesting narratives show some of the causes which lead
sinners to become concerned for their eternal welfare,--their resistance
to the force of the Truth and the strivings of the Holy Spirit,--their
subsequent struggles against their own evil dispositions, or "carnal
mind,"--and their final perseverance toward the way of life, by true
repentance, and an acceptance through faith in Christ, of the blessings
which follow the love of God shed abroad in the soul.
