The Junior Text - Book

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

The various chapters of this book are published as separate leaflets, and are sold by the United Society of Christian Endeavor either separately or in quantities. It is recommended that Junior societies obtain a supply of them sufficient to give every member of the society a copy of each of the first three leaflets (Chapters I., II., and III. of this book), and that every officer and committee member receive the leaflet discussing his work. A copy of the leaflet for prayer-meeting leaders (Chapter XX.) may well be placed in the hands of the successive leaders of your meetings, and the leaflet for preparatory members (Chapter XXL) may be given to those members. The leaflets on the Quiet Hour and the Tenth Legion are for general distribution when it is desired to arouse special interest in these subjects.

It is hoped that the societies everywhere will adopt a rule that each officer and committee member shall, within a month after election, pass (753) an examination in the work of his office, or else cease to hold it. The questions given here will be asked by the superintendent, and it is partly for the superintendent's convenience that the leaflets have been gathered into the present volume.

Also, many superintendents will wish to form the older Juniors into classes for the study of this book, that they may become acquainted with all lines of Junior work. The officers of the society, especially, should take this course; so should the Junior committee of the Young People's society. All members of such a class should have copies of the text-book.

Conferences of Junior workers are often held in connection with Christian Endeavor conventions and summer schools. Classes in Junior methods may well be formed at such times, and this book will serve as a convenient and comprehensive text-book. The questions and answers will serve as bases of discussion, and essays and talks on topics suggested by these studies will be assigned by the leader according to the time at the disposal of the class.
