ve meet, and the persecutions l
sutiered by the Christians in
earlier aes of the world.
We meet here to-day, before
tfie eyes of the world, protected
by the laws of our State. All
is loveliness and song; we sing
our hymns with gladness; and
joyfully listen to the instruction
of our teacher. This -was not
always so. Sunday school chil
dren were not always so favor
ably situated. About 120 yers
ago Hannah Ball, a-Methodist
girl, would gather a few chil
dren around her on Sunday
morning in a little village in
England to try to teach them
some lessons from the scripture.
As they would pass along the
street they were insulted by the
mob of idlers and jeered by the
wicked boys of the street. In
fact, if was almost impossible
to give children full and free re
ligious instruction.;: . V -; -i?
Christian parents were com
pelled to meet in , caves and
barns and old waste houses in
the dark hours of the night to
worship" God" according to the
dictates of their own conscience,
and what instruction the' chil;
dren received had4 to be given
not only quietly but secretly at
home. -
