Hurlbut's Bible Lessons for Boys and Girls

Hurlbut's Bible Lessons for Boys and Girls is by Jesse Lyman Hurlbut. The opening text says the lessons may be used in classes of the Sunday School, by teachers who desire a more consecutive treatment of the Bible story than is given in the International Sunday School lessons, and by parents. The text says a selection has been made of what seem to be the most important subjects, affording weekly lessons for one year, with allowance for vacations, in the Old Testament, and another year in the New Testament.

The lessons carry titles such as Lesson II, The Stable and Shepherds, and Lesson XLVI, Review on the Early Church. The suggestions for teaching say to tell the story of the day's lesson to the children, using very simple words and avoiding all that are in any sense technical, or above the mind of a child. The suggestions say that after telling the story for the day, the children may be divided into classes, and assistants may teach the questions and answers.
