About a score of years ago the American Sunday- School Union published a classified list of the Inter- national Sunday-School Lessons covering their first thirty years. That list was found so useful by Sunday-School workers that ten years later the Edi- tor of the Society's publications produced a history and handbook of the International Lessons with a full list of lessons of the Uniform Series from the beginning up to that time. Th'is handbook was fur- ther revised in 1914 and a supplemental list of lessons added, bringing them up to 1917. The little book has been found helpful for reference by so many writers upon, and users of, the Uniform Lessons that its contents have now been rewritten by Dr. Rice, and a new chapter added by the Society's present Editor, Dr. James McConaughy, bringing the history of the Uniform Lessons — and side by side with them, of the growth of the more recent Graded Lessons — up to this date. At the same time the list of the lessons has been completely revised to cover the whole period from 1872 to 1924, the latest year for which they have as yet been issued. It is hoped that the book in its present form will be found still more valuable than in its earlier issues. Philadelphia, May, 1922. Origin and Development of Uniform Bible Lessons By Edwin Wilbur Rice THE immense popularity that followed the adoption of the "Uniform Bible Lessons" in 1872 marked an epoch in the modern Sun- day-school movement. Uniform topics of Bible study, as presented by successive lesson committees, aroused an enthusiasm which concentrated a greater amount of scholarship upon the study of the Bible than had been given to it for centuries before. After fifty years of wt>rld-wide use, this course of study still holds a wide popularity in America. evolution of uniform lessons Uniform Bible lessons did not spring up in a night. The idea was the culmination of a series of experiments with many schemes for biblical study during more than a century. Religious instruction of the young, in the family and in cliurch, before the introduction of Sunday-schools, was from cate- chisms, and was by no means general. These catechisms were based upon theological creeds and 'confessions that were intended as compends of Chris- tion doctrine for churchmen to give assent to, and were generally quite beyond the comprehension of children. The early ones were very crude. Among the first in English was one entitled The Maister of Oxford's Catechism, used in Oxford University, Eng- land, about 1425. The questions were asked by the "clerke" or teacher, and the answer was to be learned by the "Maister," or graduating student. Specimen questions are worth quoting, to show the progress in catechetical methods: Gierke Question. — Say me where was God when he made heven and erth ? Maister Anszver. I say in the further ende of the winde. C. Q. What is God? M. A. He is God, that all things made, and all things has in his power. C. Q. Of what state was Adam when he was made? M. A. A man of X X X wynter of age. C. O. Of what lengthe was Adam? M. A. Of iiij score and VI enchys (inches). C. Q. How long was Adam in Paradise? M. A. Vij yere, and at vij yeres' ende he trespassed against God for the apple that he hete on a Fridaye, and an angel drive him oute. C. Q. Why beryth (beareth) not stonys (stones) froyt (fruit) as trees? M. A. For Cayne slough his l)rother Abell wth the bone of an asse checke. ******** C. Q. Why is the sun rede at even ? M. A. For he goeth toward hell, etc., etc. Catechisms generally were intended to teach the dogmas of some religious sect — Greek or Roman Catholic, or some one of the many reformed Chris- tian bodies. Raikes struck out a new scheme, in going direct to the BiWe for study lessons. When the modern Sunday-school movement began, educational theories were confusing, if not contra- dictory, as Jean Paul Richter declared. But some sane principles were emerging from the chaos. SOME IMPORTANT FORWARD STEPS 1. The Bible Text Was Put First.— The alphabet, spelling, and reading lessons from the Bible, com- mon and necessary at first in Raikes' schools, w^ere not more primitive than, nor so crude as, the methods in the secular schools of that era. Moreover, they were temporary, and preparatory to effective Bible instruction. They were not extensively or long used, nor were tliey necessary in America, except in the southern states. 2. The "Memorizing" Era that followed was more conspicuous and general. Scholars and schools vied with one another in committing to memory portions of the Bible and hymns. Rewards and prizes were offered to those who recited the largest number of verses or hymns. The scholar was allowed to make selections without limit; hence, here was a case of "grading study" for every scholar. The teacher often used two hours in hearing scholars recite, and had no time for explanation, application, or teach- ing. A gigantic case of memorizing the Bible was that of Alexander Lyons (Blind Allick) of Stir- ling, Scotland, who could repeat the entire Bi1)le. If any clause was given to him he could instantly re- peat the whole verse and tell where it would be found. But his knowledge was purely verbal. If asked to quote a verse that declared man was a sinner, or one saying how man could be saved, he was utterly unable to recall any. In America, this excess of memorizing was said to develop a disease of the head, liydrocephalus — a serious abuse of a good practice. 3. Lessons and Training Systems. — Partly over- lapping and following the memorizing era were sev- eral systems; as, (a) the "practical lessons" urged by James Gall and others. The Scriptural theme might be a chapter, more or less, to be read. Fifty or more questions were given for the teacher to ask, in order to get the facts before the scholars. Then the scholar was required to "draw some practical lesson" or application from every verse or succes- sive fact. This excess of detailed application com- monly left a confused jumble in the mind. The plan was modified and had a limited use in America, (b) The training system, by Stow, gained considerable popularity for a time in Great Britain. It required separate rooms, small classes, and provided no text- books, (c) Mimpriss's system covered the life of Christ only, giving no study of the other portions of the Bible. 4. Tlie Lecture and Story-Telling Systems. — The scholars took all the time in reciting Scripture in the memorizing era ! The reaction from that went to the other extreme — the teacher taking all the time in lecturing, object-illustrating, and story-telling, about the Bible text. When the scholars grew list- less, a story of the humorous or thrilling type would be given, mingled with the story of the Bible text, to hold the attention. The scholars were "lectured," not taught. LIMITED UNIFORM BIBLE LESSONS, 1825-185O Meanwhile, thoughtful educators were planning a natural, normal system of Bible study. Lessons on limited selected portions of Scripture appeared to spring up spontaneously in various sections of America. Thus Truman Parmele. of Utica, N. Y., Harvey Fisk, of Princeton, N. J., the American Sun- day-School Union workers in Philadelphia, and not- alVy S. W. Seton, W. A. Tomlinson, and Albert Judson, of New York, proposed courses of Bible study upon improved, though similar, principles. The American Sunday-School Union induced these lead- ers to allow the best features in their several plans to be combined into one. known as the "Limited Uniform Bible Lessons," 1825. This plan of uniform lessons marks an early epoch in modern Sunday-school instruction. It speedily won its way to an extensive use, and was formally approved by the first National Sunday-School Con- ventions of 1832 and 1833. By that time the course of lessons had been tested, and revised, and improved by many changes, as the result of several years' trial It stood the test against any and all rival schemes, including those heretofore mentioned, and the Lan- castrian and Bell methods, and the Moravian "verse a day" scheme. The topics of study and the passages of Scripture were selected and issued first on separate cards and leaflets. The plan was not endorsed by any denom- ination, or heralded by any big convention. The tentative or trial lessons, of 1824-5, were approved and published by the American Sunday-School Union and recommended to its four hundred or more aux- iliary societies in every state in the country. Notkc that the "Question Books" and other "helps" on the lessons came later and were wholly distinct from the "Lists of Lessons." The important features claimed for the "Uniform Bible Lessons" of 1825, and on, were: (1) A course of study of the Bible text itself, rather than of catechisms, creeds, confessions, or historic matters about the Bible, however excellent. (2) The course gave a view of the important events, doctrines, and truths of the Bible. (3) "Every class to receive instruction on the same lesson at the same time," and all schools in the country may have the same topic of study — "Uni- form Bible Lessons for all." (4) Reviews, annual and quarterly, were provided, with public examinations. Sundays were also al- lotted for optional lessons in catechism, on missions, temperance, or denominational dogmas, or for monthly concerts of prayer. (5) The lessons were graded in the teaching. The "helps," questions, explanations, and notes were to be in not less than three grades, so that the theme or text of each lesson would be adapted to all grades or departments of a school. They fur- ther suggested that optional lessons for Infant Classes or beginners, and for advanced Bible classes, might be used where deemed necessary. (6) The text was usually limited to from ten to twenty verses. Teachers' Meetings, weekly, were advocated for the study of the lesson, and pastors urged to use the text for midweek lectures, which many did. (7) The course was first planned to cover the Bible in five years. Later it was revised and ex- tended to seven or nine years. (8) It was offered for national and international use in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. These ''Uniform Bible Lessons" were warmly commended by foremost clergymen and laymen of every evangelical denomination, such as Dr. James Milnor; Dr. James Matthews, Chancellor of New York University; Dr. Gardiner Spring; Dr. Henry Chase ; Dr. Lyman Beecher ; Dr. John H. Rice ; Thomas Grimke ; Theodore Frelinghuysen ; and many others. Dr. Isaac Ferris, later Chancellor of New York University, voiced the generail judgment of Christian educators on this study: 'Tt did more for the efficiency of the Sunday-school than can be calculated." It enlisted the best talent in framing the studies in the Bible upon this plan.* GRADED HELPS ON THE EARLY UNIFORM LESSONS Notes, explanations, and helps on the early "Uni- form Bible Lessons" were provided in several grades by distinguished educators, for teachers and scholars. And they were more necessary then than now. Ex- positions of the Bib'e texts were issued in The American Sniiday-ScJiool Magazine and in The Sunday-School Journal, published by the American Sunday-School Union. Notes and Question Books, by Albert Judson, and others, were issued for schol- ars in three grades. The most popular of these graded helps were the "Union Questions," which covered the entire seven, and finally twelve, years' course of Bible study. Their circulation extended * For full description of the "Limited Uniform Bible Lessons" refer to Rice's Sunday-School Movement, Section III. into millions of copies, and they were commended again by the National Sunday-School Convention of 1859. Volumes of Notes and Questions on each yearly course of ''Uniform Bible Lessons" were also issued, separate from the list of lessons and from the pop- ular "Union Questions." Thus the aids for teachers and scholars were provided on a generous scale, enlisting the labors of foremost biblical scholars and educators of that day, and were in grades adapted to all the departments of the Sunday-school. For example, a special help was provided upon the four Gospels, giving a harmony, explanations, ques- tions, and practical lessons, with illustrations. These "helps" on each lesson covered several closely printed pages, the matter being classified under five heads : ( 1 ) The "narrative," or historical setting of the lesson; (2) "Exercise," or a series of questions, indicating a p!an of instruction; (3) "Explanations" of difficult phrases and verses requiring special ex- position; (4) "Illustrations" of the symbols, as in parables, often more extended than the explanations under the third head; (5) "Practical lessons," or applications, often occupying three or more closely printed, but distinctly paragraphed pages. Teachers had the results of wide study, keen wis- dom, and broad applications of the truth to daily life. Besides these five forms of "helps" and three distinct forms of "graded questions," there were maps, geographical and other illustrated material, so that the system speedily gained a circulation of over a million copies. Indeed, it was computed that these lessons were approved by about seven-tenths of the entire number of Sunday-school teachers in the United States. After the Convention of 1832, the whole series was again revised by a committee of editors and two more yearly lessons were added to the previous seven years' course, and proofs of them, with "Union Questions" on them, were sent to about fifty lead- ing bibHcal scholars and educators in the country, seeking- corrections, suggestions, and improvements. The proofs returned had so many corrections that the work had to be rewritten. There were finally twelve yearly volumes of ''Union Questions." But volumes 10 and 11 were for the use of advanced Bible classes, and volume 12 was an optional review of the whole Bible. The series aimed to include a careful and complete study of the entire Bible.* Tt was offered for national use in the United States and also in the Canadas and provinces. Suc- cessive editions were early reprinted by the Religious Tract Society, of London, England, with Judson's Questions, so that it was claimed as an International System. The system continued to be widely used in this country for a generation. ERA OF SEGREGATION AND REACTION This plan of "Uniform Bible Lessons," of 1825 and on, w^as evidently in advance of its age. Work- ers of the third decade in the twentieth century need to be reminded that facilities of communication in America were vastly different from now in the third .deca-'^e of the nineteenth century. There were no telephones, telegraphs, steam railways, and practical- ly no steamboats. The postal service was limited, irregular, and infrequent in large portions of our great country. It was necessarily slow, and very * The twelve yearly volumes of "Union Questions," founded upon and growing out of this early system of "Limited Uniform Bible Lessons" for the whole Bible, were as follows: (i) Life and Miracles of Je^us Christ; (2) Paral)!es and In- structions of Christ; (3) Creation of the World to the Exodus; C4) Exodus to Death of Joshua; (5) Acts of the Apostles; (6) Death of Joshua to Death of Samuel; (7) Death of Samuel to the Captivity; (8) The Epistle to the Calatians; (q) Captivity to the End of Old Testament: Cio) Epistle to the Romans; Cii) Epistle to the Hebrews; (12) General View of the Whole Bible. 10 expensive. Even ten years later, in the fourth dec- ade of tlie nineteenth century, postal rates on printed matter were practically prohibitive. For example, the American Sunday-School Union reported that illustrated and other Sunday-school periodicals, which it supplied in packages to schools for ten dollars, cost the subscribers thirty dollars for postage. Tlie postage was collected at the post office nearest the subscriber's home, and not at the office where the papers were mailed. Under such imperfect postal service, it was not practicable nor possible to have the use of the same Bible lesson on the same Sunday in all parts of the country. Groups of schools associated in large cities could and did adopt and use the same lesson on the same Sunday. In segregated communities schools were free to select and did choose a year's course of study for all classes or departments of the school ; and associated groups did the same. It is marvelous that the system gained such extended and prolonged use and popularity in the face of such formidable obstacles. Then reaction came from vested denominational interests. Denominational leaders were insistent in their demands for instruction upon their respec- tive and peculiar doctrines, along with general Bible truths of salvation held in common. The various schools of theology also gave prominence to their views, to justify their existence. Before the midd^.e of the last century a wave of denomin.ationalism flooded the country, producing controversies be- tween the Arminian and Calvinistic schools, and battles in defence of views of the Baptist and of pedo-baptist doctrines. This strife of doctrinal dif- ferences was so severe as to rend some of the largest bodie<=. The Presbyterian church was split in 1837, and the Methodist, Baptist and other bodies later over slavery. Each of these schools or denominations desired, 11 and several developed, separate schemes of study for their respective Sunday-schools, to such an extent that this era came to be designated as one of "Babel Series" of Sunday-school lessons. These polemic strifes and civil controversies culminated in the bloody fratricidal Civil War of 1861-1865. The better sense of the American people was aroused to stand and fi^^^ht for Union. The people, in a life- and-death struggle for four years against segrega- tion and division, won a signal and decisive victory for Union. TIDE FOR UNION In the reconstruction era that immediately fol- lowed, the denominations struggled vigorously to preserve their respective lessons along special doc- trinal lines, and to hold the ground they had gained. The Methodists of the North, under the magnetic leadership of John H. Vincent, began the "Berean Series" of lessons for their Sunday-schools; the Presbyterians, North, had the "Westminster Series," ably edited by Henry C. McCook. Other denomina- tions had similar series. For rural Union schools the American Sunday-School Union issued a new "Explanatory Series" on the New Testament, edited by S. Austin Allibone, LL.D., and Rev. Dr. Richard Newton. While each of these series, so diverse, gained considerable popularity in its respective field, the war had revived a desire among- many workers and educators for a nationail system of Bible study. A uniform lesson, one biblical topic of study for all in the same school at the same time, was again suggested, and believed by many to have marked advantages over other systems. This plan of the same Bible lesson for all Sunday-schooi's was warm- ly advocated in conventions, and especially in Sun- day-school teachers' institutes, bv Richard G. Pardee, Ralph Wfells, John S. Hart, and H. Clay Trumbull in the East, and by B. F. Jacobs, Edward Eggleston, 12 Edwin W. Rice, and Stephen Paxson in the North- west, and by others in other sections of the country. Then, during- the war, the .Sanitary as weh as the Christian Commission broui^ht together prominent clergymen and laymen of widely different faiths, for Christian service for the soldiers in camp, hospital, and on the batt'e-field. They saw the need and the efficiency of su^h union service. They also experienced the great joy of united worship. Why not extend similar service and worship to mixed communities all over the country? And why not have a joint study of our common Bible to give in- creased inspiration for such worship and service? The Sunday-School Teacher^ issued in Chicago, and then edited by Edward Eg-gleston, prepared and published a series of Bible lessons intended for use in all Sunday-scJiools, which gained wide favor. Notes on these lessons were printed in several re- ligious weeklies of different clenominations, notably in the Baptist Standard, of Chicago. These lessons were also made the theme for the popular noonday prayer meetings, under the leadership of D. L. Moody. TJic Sunday-School Times, of Philadelphia, had special notes on the same lessons. Mr. Eggles- ton voiced the prevailing sentiment, saying : "One lesson for the school^- — the Bible classes, main school, and the infant class, but adapted by teachers to the capacities and wants of each — is the watchword . . the foundation for all true advancement . . . Without a uniform lesson there can be no teachers' meeting-; general exercises are impossible; unity in hymns and prayer out of the question; the moral power of members studying the same passage is de- stroyed." "There can be no effective school instruc- tion," he declared, "without a uniform lesson of some kind. Why not uniform lessons for all?" This agitation troubled denominational leaders seriously. At the suggestion of John H. Vincent prominent leaders held a conference in PHainfield, N. J., where decided opposition to uniform lessons was revealed. But this rather increased than allayed the agitation for union or uniform lessons. Fre- quent appeals were made to the Executive Committee of the National Sunday-school Convention of 1869, of which H. Clay Trumbull was secretary, and later chairman. Then a meeting of the National Com- mittee was held in New York, July 10, 1871, to plan for the next convention. Uniform lessons were dis- cussed, and the Executive Committee declared that the "Sunday-school cause would be greatly promoted if the publishers of Sunday-school lessons would unite on a uniform series of topics for 1872." They appointed a subcommittee (B. F. Jacobs, Alfred Tay- lor, and J. S. Ostrander) "to convey this sentiment to th.e publishers" and to invite and urge them "to hold such a conference in the Bible House, New York, August 8, 1871." With his characteristic incisiveness Trumbull states the general situation thus : "The movement for uniformity was popular rather than personal." "Ap- parently, no publishing society or house was orig- inally desirous of the experiment." "Most of the prominent Sunday-school men of the nation doubted either its feasibility or desirableness." "The great mass of Bible students through the length and breadth of the land pressed for it." "Some opposed it on theoretical grounds, others saw practical diffi- culties." "A few advocated it warmly." "Nearly all admitted a strong public sentiment in its favor." No wonder vested interests in denominational pub- lishing houses did not favor the plan. It meant that their respective lesson systems must be thrown into the scrap heap, with a loss of many thousands of dollars in plates, stock, and good-will The American Sunday-School Union had even more to sacrifice in primers, readers, series of question books, Bible- class textbooks, besides the new "Explanatory Les- sons," which were proving widely popular in rural schools. 14 NEVv UNIFORM SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSONS, FROM I^y2 ON The publishers responded to the invitation. The representatives of twenty-nine Sunday-school pub- lishing societies and houses assembled in New York in August, 1871, and after long discussion agreed, by a vote of twenty-six to three, to appoint a com- mittee to select a trial list of uniform lesson topics for Sunday-school study for 1872. The committee consisted of Edward Eggleston (of Chicago Sunday- ScJiool Teacher), Richard New^ton, D.D. (editor of periodicals of the American Sunday-School Union), Rev. John H. Vincent (editor M. E. "Berean Series" of Lessons), Rev. Henry C. McCook (editor of "Westminster Series" of Lessons), and B. F. Jacobs (writer of Notes in Baptist Standard, Chicago). Three of those on the committee (Messrs. Eggles- ton, McCook, and Vincent), after careful consulta- tion, deemed it impossible to frame a satisfactory scheme of uniform lesson topics, and announced the fact to the public. But the next morning the committee reassembled, at the suggestion of B. F. Jacobs, and under his mag- netic zeal recalled that decision, and proceeded to select a plan of uniform lessons for 1872, by includ- ing mainly for on.e quarter the topics of the "Berean Series," for another quarter those of the Chicago Teacher, and for a third quarter the topics of the "Westminster Series," leaving the committee to select fresh topics for the fourth quarter, as the American Sunday-School Union did not request that any of its series be incorporated, unless the committee found them suited to the general scheme. The real problem still to be solved was, on what plan should the committee select lesson topics? Sev- eral plans were proposed, and several propositions were offered as a hasi.< for such a scheme of lessons. Among the more prominent were : (1) That doctrines be made the basis of the plan. 15 (2) That duties along the lines of practical Chris- tian living, as reverence, Sabbath-keeping, parental and filial duties, and the like, be the foundation. (3) That the selected lessons follow the ecclesi- astical year, recognizing Christmas, Easter and sim- ilar holy days. The contention was strong between the advocates of these respective plans. It was tersely described as a battle "for doctrines, duties, or days." Finally, it was agreed that the basis of the plan should be a study of the Bible as a "wliole, a plan which was believed to include all the others. As before stated, several of the editors and pub- lishers who had already outlined their respective schemes of lessons for the year 1872 wanted their selections, in part at least, worked into the proposed lessons for all. The new scheme was of necessity made up of three or four quite diverse p^ans of les- sons, predetermined by denominational organizations. It is amazing that this "patchwork" list convinced the majority of the delegates to the National Sunday- School Convention, at Indianapolis, in April, 1872, of the feasibility of the scheme, and that the uni- form lesson system was enthusiastically approved. A committee of ten persons, five clergymen and five laymen, from the leading denominations, was appointed by that convention, with instructions to select a "seven years' course" of "uniform lessons" or topics (1873-1879) for study in Sunday-schools. The resolution was as follows : That this convention appoint a committee, to consist of five clergymen and five laymen, to select a course of B'ible lessons for a series of years not exceeding seven, which shall, as far as they may decide possible, embrace a general study of the whole Bible, alternating between the Old and New Testaments semi-annually or quarterly, as they shall deem best, and to publish a list of such les- sons as fully as possible, and at least for the two years next ensuing, as early as the ist of August, 1872; and that this convention recommend their 16 adoption by the Sunday-schools of the whole country ; and that this committee have power to fill any vacancies that may occur in their numljer by reason of the inaljility of any member to serve. The First Seven Cycles. — Eight Lesson Commit- tees in sucession have been appointed, and as many courses or cycles of study provided; three cycles of seven years each, four cycles of six years each, and one of eight years. The committee which selected the first year's les- sons, for 1872, was appointed by the Sunday-school editors and publishing societies and houses. In the appointment of the next Lesson Committee, the Sun- day-school publishers graciously conceded the ap- pointment to the National Sundav-School Conven- tion of 1872. Lhe first seven years' cycle of lessons was based upon the p^'an of choosing the more important pas- sages, in a general chronological order, from the Old Testament (beginning with Genesis), and sim- ilar passages in the New Testament alternately, studying half a year in the Old, and half a year in the New Testament ; thus, in a fragmentary way, endeavoring to cover the entire Bible within the seven years' study. Sometimes the alternation be- tween the Old and the New Testament was made every three months, but more frequently every six months. The lesson texts were usually limited to from ten to twenty verses per lesson, so that only about forty-five hundred to five thousand of the thirty-one thousand verses (31,173) in the entire Bible were included in the studies of the seven years' cycle. The intention was so to select the lessons as substantially to go over "the entire Bible in each course for the purpose of historical, biographical, and doctrinal study," and thus to gain a general knowledge of the contents of the Scripture every seven, and later every six years. The plan, however, did not fully follow the intention of its founders. 17 Only forty-eight lessons were selected for each year's study; the last Sunday in every three months 'being reserved for "a review, or a lesson selected by the school." In 1878 the committee assigned the last Sunday of every quarter to a "review of the lessons of the quarter, or a missionary, a temperance, or other lesson selected by the school." A similar plan was pursued in the second seven years' cycle (1880-1886). A special feature of this cydle was the continuous study of the entire Gospel according to Mark, in the year 1882. The same plan was substantiallv followed in the third seven years' cycle (1887-1893), a year (1890) of continuous study being this time given to the Gospel according to Luke, Provision was made for quarterly missionary and temperance lessons, as well as for reviews. The fourth cycle of lessons was limited to six years (1894-1899) instead of seven years, as here- tofore, and a greater proportion of the time than before was given to studies in the New Testament. The Fifth Lesson Committee, appointed by the International Sunday-school Convention in Boston, \n 1896, was composed of fifteen members, the ma- jority being new members. A ''British section" of eight corresponding or co-operating members was also recognized. The American section prepared a preliminary list of les- sons, sent it to the corresponding members in Great Britain, and also to lesson editors and writers, for suggestions before it was approved and announced to the public. This committee and their associates were instructed to select a six years' cycle of lessons (1900-1905) to give as complete a view as possible of the whole Bible. The committee decided to give chief prominence to biography in this six years' cycle of study. In previous cycles prominence had been given to historical material in the Scriptures. In giving prominence "to the biographical ele- 18 ment," the purpose in the fiftJi cycle was "to bring forward the persons in the Scriptures whose lives illustrated the presence and will of God among men; supreme over all, the Word made flesh, the only- begotten Son of God." The Sixth Lesson Committee, appointed at Denver, in 1902, was composed of fifteen members — twelve clergymen and three laymen. The British section had fifteen members. This committee was instructed to select "one uniform lesson for all grades of the Sunday-school," and was further "authorized to issue an optional Beginners' course for special de- mands and uses, such optional course not to bear the official title of Inteniational lesson." For Beginners (meaning scholars under six years of age), a course of lessons was proposed by the committee, but did not prove satisfactory. Later a two years' course for Beginners, topically arranged, was put forth by the committee, which was better received. The British section found that they could not use this course and asked that it be announced as issued "under the authority of the American section of the International Lesson Committee; optional." In the plan of the uniform lessons for the entire cycle, the sixth committee followed a plan, which they say had "proved so attractive a feature from 1900 to 1905." The Sixth Committee reported an Advanced course of two years, and recommended it, but it failed of adoption by the convention. The Seventh Lesson Committee, appointed at Louisville, in 1908, consisted of fifteen members in the American section, nearly half of whom were new members. The British section had eighteen members. In a final report, in 1908, the vSixth Les- son Committee reported having issued an Advanced course of lessons to schools. This Advanced course of lessons was rather hastily prepared, and the Sunday-school editors, it was said, "well-nigh uni- versally refused to accept and prepare lessons on it." Later a one year's Advanced course on the "Ethical Teaching of Jesus" was approved and issued by the committee, but was not very widely used. The committee further proposed a Graded Course of les- sons, as the resu't of a conference attended by rep- resentatives of both the British and American sec- tions of the Lesson Committees, and by British and American Sunday-school leaders, held in Boston, in 1907. The committee reported that "for many years to come a very large majority of the Sunday-schools on this continent and in the British Isles must be de- pendent upon the Uniform Lesson System," and, therefore, they asked the convention to instruct the Lesson Committee to continue the work of arrang- ing and issuing the "Uniform Series" of lessons, and to authorize it also to continue the preparation of a thoroughly graded course of lessons, which may be used by any Sunday-school that desires it. This report a\Vakened a long and learned discussion. The convention unanimously instructed the Seventh Les- son Committee to carry out the recommendations thus made. SCOPE AND MERITS OF UNIFORM LESSONS The scope and merits of this system of Bible study had been repeatedly discussed. Sharp criticism of it was renewed, along more radical lines, to test whether it could be made to conform to sound prin- ciples of education. The scope of the lessons was declared to be imperfect. In the preliminary year's study for 1872, the lessons were selected from nine books of the Bible. In the first cyole of lessons for seven years, 1873-1879, during which the whole Bible was gone over, the lessons were selected from fifty-four different books, thirty-three in the Old Testament and twenty-one in the New. In the second cycle of study the scope of the lessons was narrowed to forty-four books, twenty- 20 four in the Old Testament and twenty in the New, and no studies or lessons were assigned from twenty- two of the hooks of the Bihle. In the fourth cycle of six years twenty-one hooks were omitted in the selecting of lessons and only one lesson was chosen from each of fifteen other hooks of the Bihle. The later cycles of lessons have heen mainly a repetition of the selections in previous cycles, without any important changes. Under the arrangement of any system of Sunday- school study there must he some insurmountahle oh- stacles to a study of the entire Bible in a cycle of lessons limited to six years. Would any workable system of Sunday-school study prove more elastic or wider in scope than is possible under the ''uni- form" plan ? It was conceded that the study of the Scriptures in the Sunday-school had been immensely broadened, as well as deepened, and been made more accurate as compared with the study preceding the "Uniform Series" of lessons. The interpretations of divine truth were more definite and clear, and, as a consequence, the prac- tical lessons therefrom tended to advance and deepen the spiritual life, not merely of the Sunday-school, but of all Christians of every name in all the churches where the system was pursued. Criticism of the System. — The i)'an of the "Uni- form Series" of lessons came into the Sunday-schools with a great wave of enthusiasm that seemed to bear down all opposition. Many predicted that it would be a temporary wave, but not so. The "Uni- form Series" gained a wider constituency and en- rolled a greater number of persons in the study of God's Word than any other known system. Dis- cordant notes have come from various quarters, fre- quently from scientific educators, and bililical critics. The following may be noticed : Early in its introduction it was comp'^ained that "Uniform Lessons" did not furnish sufficient oppor- 21 tunity for denominational teaching. In reply to this criticism its advocates boldly challenged the whole Christian world "to point out a clearly revealed bib- lical doctrine which has been avoided or omitted." The difficu'ty must be with the teachers and not with the lessons. "If the denominational teachings have not been included in the lessons," they assert, "it is because they are not in the Bible." See reports of the Lesson Committee at various conventions. The "Uniform Lessons" were criticized as not being entirely in harmony with educational theories and child development. It was admitted that there was some force in this criticism. This was over- balanced, however, by the increased advantages of the "Uniform Lessons" over its disadvantages. For example, it was said that Sunday-schools do not want a course of study of the character of higher schools of learning. Granting the highest commendation to a scientific investigation of the Scriptures, yet, it was declared that this investigation is not adapted to the mass of children in the Sunday-school, and that these schools cannot be successfully turned into theological seminaries. The Lesson Committee said : We have had in mind the children from refined and cultivated homes, and from alleys and sand lots ; children assembled in stately city churches, and in log cabins and dugouts ; scholars who can read the lesson in Greek or Hebrew, and old people, as well as children, who can only with the greatest difficulty spell out the name of Jesus. Another "catching" and popular criticism of the "Uniform Series" was that it was a kind of "kang- aroo system," a "hop-skip-and-jump" method, and looked like the "erratic work of careless shears and paste-pot." On this method it was asserted that the lessons had oni1y been "skimming the Bible." The advocates wittily answered, "There have been great thanksgivings over the remarkably rich cream we have gotten." 22 The critics furtlier insinuated that a jumping method of this kind woukl not be tolerated in the common school. The advocates of the "Uniform System" forcibly replied : Is it not, as a matter of fact, to some extent pursued in the common school, the academy, and the college? What classical teacher insists that his pupils shall read everything in Virgil, or Livy, or Horace, or Juvenal ; in Xenophon, or Homer, or ^schylus ? ... Is there nothing gained in going over the mountain peaks of history if one has neither the time nor the ability to study the philosophy of history ? Another criticism, which was intended to include nearly all that had gone before, was that the "Uni- form Lessons" were not adapted to the development of the chiild-mind; were not suited to the youngest, nor fitted for advanced scholars; nor, indeed, fav- orable to the best progress between these extremes of capacity. Per contra, advocates of the system noted the many advantages of a uniform lesson, and asserted that a grading can be made in the teaching — a grading which will be as advantageous as could be made by different passages of Scripture for the lessons, and without the handicap of multiplied les- son texts, and the other disadvantages of graded texts that would far outweigh the advantages. The Lesson Committee asserted that the system of "Uniform Lessons" was based on the idea of "the greatest good to the greatest number." The Advantages of the System. — Over against all criticism are set advantages, which its advocates claim : "The Uniform Lessons" have given a more com- prehensive knowledge of the Word of God than any other system. Large portions of the Bible, which were not previously explored, have been studied, and at least partially mastered and applied to the prac- tical duties of life. The plan of "Uniform Lesson" topics has unified and strengthened Sunday-schootl teaching. It has maJe it possible and vastly easier to have successful teachers' meetings. It has made it possible even for all to know where the lesson for the Sunday was to be, and to make preparation therefor. It has in- creased the strength of the teaching in the individual school, and has given new life to the cause of Bib- lical interpretation and to the critical study of the Bible, and added inspiration and sidelight from Oriental life. It has created a fresh Biblical literature of great value and given it an immense circulation. The most learned scholars of the world have given some of their best thinking to the exposition of Biblical truths for popular use. Into families where intelligent works on the Bible had never before gone, these expositions of the lessons have found their way, so that in a great majority of homes there is a better knowledge of the Bible than ever before. The "Uniform Series" of lessons has been a great object lesson and argument for the oneness of Prot- estant Christianity. It has shown that in the great essential doctrines of our religion there is a unity which had not been before emphasized and has thus promoted a wonderful spirit of oneness in our Chris- tian life, while at the same time denominational beliefs have been respected. The "Uniform Lessons" have been one of the most prolific means for the diffusion of the gospel. Thousands of columns of expositions and applica- tions of Biblical truth have appeared in the secular press, where previously such topics had no place. The foremost dailies in our cities have given exposi- tions by abl,e writers, week by week, upon this series of Sunday-school lessons. It has immensely benefited the great traveling classes, whose duties call them from p^.ace to place; for, under this system, they could know what was the lesson for study wherever a Sunday might find them. 24 "Uniform Lessons" have widened and deepened the spirituaHty an.d power of the church. They have furnished nuniljerless themes for sermons and for enricliini,^ the midweek prayer meetinj^^s. Indeed, it has l)een c'aimed that more conversions and more accessions to the church have heen made since the "Uniform Lessons" were adopted than ever before. It is claimed to have marvelously increased the power and facility of Christian workers to win souls. Even thoui^di the cynic mav say that the greatest number of teachers in the Sunday-school are women, this may be a fulfilment of the old prophecy, "The Lord g-iveth the word; the women that publish the tidings are a great host." (R. V.) This reads like a mar- velous prophecy of the prominence woman has won for herse'f in these latter days as a teacher of God's Word, at which all Cliristians may well rejoice. The "Uniform Series" of Sunday-school lessons, some enthusiastic advocates of the graded topic les- son say, stands in the way of the progress of true theology and of modern methods in pedagogy. UNIFORM TOPICS VERSUS GRADED TOPICS The hosts in Sunday-schools using the "Uniform Lessons" point to the majestic advance in Bible study and in Biblical learning which has been made under this system of uniform topical lessons. Mark well, the issue is not one in regard to graded teach- ing or to the adaptation of truth to the development of the child-mind, for both parties hold to this view. The real question is between uniform topics and graded topics; that is, between selecting passages of Scripture which may give unity to study and hav- ing many different passages of Scripture for study in the same school at the same time. Careful discrimination must be made in the dis- cussion between the principle of a uniform system of topical study and any selections made under thai 25 principle and called "uniform series of lessons," Where imperfectly or unwisely selected lessons prove a failure no one is hastily to judge that the prin- ciple of uniform topics of study is therefore a failure or impracticable. Everyone will concede that there is large room for improvement in the selection of lessons. Mr. James T. Fields has a noted humorous poem, "The Owl Critic," which tells of a conceited youth, wdio saw what he supposed to be a stuffed owl in the window of a barber shop. With pompous claims for knowledge on owls, he insisted that the owl was badly stuffed, his wing was preposterous, his head not right, his body badly posed, his feathers ab- surdly arranged, his claws impossibly curled on the perch, and that if he couldn't stuff an owl better than that he would go out of the taxidermist busi- ness. Just then the owl turned its head and blinked, and got down gravely from its perch, and hooted at the critic. It was a live owl ; and the critic walked down the street; thinking himself a big fool for criticizing a live owl. It may be equally perilous dogmatically to criticize living systems of Sunday- school lessons. UNIFORM LESSONS NEEDED The Lesson Committee in 1908 voiced the views of many Sunday-school workers in this emphatic language : The very large majority of the Sunday-schools on this continent and in the British Isles, and practically all the schools in foreign lands, are now, and must be for many years to come, dependent upon the "Uniform Lesson" sys- tem . . . which is rooted in the affection of many millions of p^cple. In the discussion at the convention of 1908 it was positively asserted as the conviction of the large conference held in Boston of that year that : The system of a general lesson for the whole school, which has been in successful use for thirty-five years, is 26 still the most practicable and effective system for the great majority of the Sumlay-schools of North America. It was asserted in the discussions also: A graded system will be impossible for years in some parts of the world, and it may be for generations ; hence it is the firm conxiction of all who have considered the! matter with a sense of personal responsibility and with a wide outlook that the "Uniform Lesson" system must be maintained, and that it must be developed year by year in the future, more perfectly to meet its own ideals. Improve the Plan. — There is room for improve- ment in the selection of miiform lesson topics and texts. The scope of the "Uniform Lessons" can be broadened to give a wider conspectus, or view, of the whole range of Bible truth within a cycle of study. At the same time, the scope of the passage of Scripture selected for each lesson should be chosen so that it wall lend itself to elastic and flexible treat- ment, and be capable of 1)eing adapted to teaching that topic or theme in a manner suited, as far as possible, to the youngest as well as to the more ad- vanced scholars. In this respect the Bible is a re- markable book, containing multitudes of passages in which some great truth is stated in so simple a form as to be understood by a child, while it will tax the life-study of the wdsest mind fully to comprehend. There are other lines along wdiich the selection of "Uniform Lessons" could be much improved for general use. Sunday-school workers desire to be led on to greater heights and wdder and profounder views of Scripture truth. This calls for a more discriminating choice in the texts of Scripture select- ed for study. It will involve broader judgment also of the topic or theme, and a more comprehensive view of the essential portions of the Bible. It de- mands a better application of the principles of top- ical study to the interpretation of God's will as re- vealed in the Bible. 27 RADICAL changes; SURPRISING RESULTS In 1911, at San Francisco, the new Lesson Com- mittee was chosen by the Trustees of the Inter- national Association. Heretofore, the successive lesson committees had for some forty years been chosen by the delegates, by common consent of Sunday-school publishers and workers. This report was a great surprise to workers; a bigger surprise awaited its authors. The radical change led to discussion and wide- spread opposition. The controversy created strained relations between the officials of the International Association and the Sunday-School Council of Evan- gelical Denominations. It was relieved by a com- promise between the conflicting parties. By an agreement reached on April 22 and 23, 1914, the Association was permitted to appoint eight members >on the Lesson Committee, the Sunday-School Coun- cil eight members. Besides these sixteen members, each denomination in America having a separate Sunday-school committee was allowed to have one representative also on the Lesson Committee. The L^nion, or undenominational, societies and Sunday-school organizations of America had no rep- resentative, nor was there any from the many inde- pendent Sunday-school publishing houses. The Union Sunday-schools and societies constitute a large membership running into scores of thousands, who use the "Uniform" Bible lessons. Historically the American people stand for equality and fair repre- sentation and voice in coritrol by all classes sustain- ing its public institutions. The change at San Francisco in appointing the Lesson Committee was preceded by and was due to radical changes in the structure and management of the convention. The name was changed from "Con- vention" to "Association," and a charter was secured. Under the charter a body of trustees was authorized to administer and direct the affairs of the Associa- tion, whicli included power to appoint the lesson committees. This was not in harmony with, but con- trary to the structure of the National Convention as declared by its founders in 1832 and 1833. The early leaders stoutly opposed the drift towards a per- manently organized body with legislative functions, as liable to create dissension and loss of purpose of the Convention.* BRITISH section's WITHDRAWAL The "Uniform" Bible lesson situation was further complicated by the decision, regretfully reached by the British section of the International Lesson Com- mittee, on January 28, 1915, and further on May 4, 1915, that they must withdraw from attempting to adopt or use the lessons desired by the American section. This decision related not only to Uniform lesson topics, but also to any plan of graded lessons. The reasons for this decision were expressed in the kindest Christian spirit. It may be proper to remind American workers that the British section of the Lesson Committees was appointed by the Council of the London Sunday-School Union. For a time the same uniform lesson topics as in America were used by Nonconformist Sunday-schools in England and Wales. The Church of England Sunday-schools, comprising more than haH the entire Sunday-school membership of England, never used the Interna- tional lessons. They had series of lessons issued by their Sunday-school Institute. The churches of Scot- land also issued special lessons for their schools. It is to be regretted that the British workers were con- strained to discontinue the study of the lessons at the same time studied in America. It breaks the 'Tnternational" feature of the lessons, both Uniform and Graded. * Rice. The Siivday-ScJiool Movement and the Amciican Sinulay-SeJiool Union, p. 3(19 ff. 29 THE ISSUE STATED The origin and merit of the graded, departmental, and other lesson schemes, as rivals of the "Uniform" Bible Lessons, and the accomit of the Eighth Cycle of Uniform Lessons, will be treated in another section by my associate and successor as Editor, the Rev. James McConaughy, Litt.D. My section of the sketch of the "Uniform" Bible Lessons may properly close v;ith the lessons of 1917. Several points may be stated in closing: (1) The public and the workers must not be con- fused nor befogged by the technical titles, "Graded Lessons" and "Uniform Lessons;' nor led to think that advocates of the "Uniform Lesson" topics are opposed to grading in teaching, or to "graded les- sons." They have urged grading the lesson, and have presented the topic and text of the lessons m three or more grades ever since the "Uniform" les- sons of 1825. The issue is not between graded lessons, and uni- form lessons, but between plans for "Uniform Les- son Topics, or texts, and "Graded Lesson Topics or texts. The latter, in its full development, calls for the use of seventeen different topics and Scripture texts in the same Sunday-school at the same session. (2) It will not seem presumptuous in one who in infancy and in childhood was fed and nourished upon the earliest uniform system of Bible lessons in the last century, and who has been permitted dili- gently to study and w'rite upon every cycle of the later "Uniform" lessons, since 1872, now fifty years, to testify not only to the remarkable enthusiasm and success attending the system, but, far better, to the blessed benefits of the graded teaching of those Bible lessons in my own life. Moreover, the richest blessings from the use of these lessons have been witnessed by me, in family, school, and community, 30 of all faiths and no faiths ; in states, territories, and provinces from the A,tlantic to the Pacific. Thoroughly convinced of the wisdom of adapting instruction to the instructed, graded teaching has been my method ever since my first service as a teacher of classics, in 1856. (3) Adapting instruction in religion, however, re- quires more careful and keener wisdom than in art, or science, or literature. The age, knowledge, and intellectual aptness of the learner must be accurately ascertained. But vastly more important is it to con- sider the spiritual condition of the soul and mind. A scientist or philosopher, ever so eminent, may be a babe in religion and not able to understand any but the simplest Bible teaching; a mere beginner in the lowest grade. This may be true of an adult of ninety; because in religion and spiritual life he may be a babe of nine years, or even nine months. We must not forget the New Testament warning in our grading: "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foo^lishness unto him : and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged (or examined)." 1 Cor. 2: 14 (R. v.). And the Great Teacher implied that the greatest truth could be understood only by those who were filled with or guided by the Holy Spirit into perceiving and practicing the will of God. It is to this height that all Bible students should seek to attain. 31 Uniform and Graded Lessons in the Period Between 1914 and 1922 By James McConaughy In the preceding pages Dr. Rice has fully outlined the development of Sunday-school lessons in Amer- ica, showing first the beginnings of a Uniform sys- tem nearly a century ago, and then describing the great development of the present Uniform Lessons under the International Lesson Committee since 1872. It only remains for me to bring the subject down to date (May, 1922) by sketching the progress made in shaping lesson courses during the past decade, a period most significant in this respect as well as most critical in the reconstruction of a shattered world. It is fitting to introduce such a sketch by an ex- pression of warm appreciation of the voluntary serv- ice devotedly and ably rendered to the great work of Christian education by the members of the Interna- tional Sunday-School Lesson Committee. Reference has already been made (p. 28) to the changes effected in the method of appointment of that Committee in 1914, wdiich have made it generally representative of all the Protestant evangelical Sunday-school forces of America (excepting only those organized on a Union basis). No one can carefully examine the two pamphlets reporting the w^ork and proceedings of that Committee, from 1914 to 1917, and again from 1917 to 1922, prepared by its efficient secretary, Prof. Ira M. Price, wnthout realizing how much the Sunday-school world is indebted to this Committee 32 for its laljors. Whatever one's opinion reg"arding Uniform or Cxraded Lessons, he can hardly fail to see how conscientiouslly and earnestly the Committee has striven to keep pace with educational progress and to lead all Sunday-schools toward more effective teaching of religious truth. UNIFORM LESSONS FOR THE EIGHTH CYCLE When the new committee met, in 1915, its Sub- committee on Uniform Lessons proposed that the next cycle of lessons, l)eginning with 1918, should cover eight years, instead of six, as had been the practice. This change, when approved, made it pos- sible to introduce into the cycle, in addition to the usual consecutive courses on the great events and characters of both Old and New Testaments, several topical courses ; such as, "Studies in the Christian Life," "Some Great Teachings of the Bible," "The Social Teachings of the Bible," and "The Mission- ary Message of the Bible." Provision was also made for the complete study of each of the three Synoptic Gospels; and the last two years were given to con- secutive courses, covering an "Outline of Old Testa- ment History"; "The Life of Jesus" from a Har- mony of the Gospels ; and "The Spread of Chris- tianity," from the Acts and the Epistles. The nar- rative portions of the Old Testament, and the Acts, with selections from the Epistles, were thus to be studied twice within the eight years; and the Life of Jesus, from the Gospels, four times. Very little was taken from Old Testament poetry or prophecy, but these sections of Scripture are naturally difficult to teach to the young. THE "improved" UNIFORM LESSONS A more important new departure was the effort to adapt the Uniform Lesson more closely to each de- partment of the school. Uniformity was preserved 33 by a common lesson title, a common Golden Text, and a common printed portion of the lesson text. The assigned lesson section, however, often covered a chapter or more ; in the biographical and book studies, even a score or more of chapters, or sometimes a whole epistle. While thus seeking to make the lessons less piece- meal, and more consecutive and comprehensive, an effort has been made to adapt them to the different departments : Primary, Junior, Intermediate and Senior, Young People and Adult. This was done by a different statement of the topic for each of these departments. For example, "The Triumphal Entry" had as its Primary Topic, "A Great Crowd Praising Jesus" ; for its Intermediate and Senior Topic, "Making Christ Our King." Occasionally even the lesson passage has been speciaUy fitted to the Primary children when the main topic and printed passage seemed too difficult to teach to them. Both for Primaries and Juniors a special Memory Verse has been selected, which might be the same as, or a part of, the Golden Text, or some other verse better adapted to these departments. This method of adapting the Uniform Lesson has now (May, 1922) been in operation about four years. No consensus of opinion has as yet been gathered from Sunday-school workers regarding its value. There seem, however, to be two general opinions regarding it. Those who believe that the Uniform Lesson is, on the whole, the best workable plan, especially for schools of small or moderate size, believe that this method of adapting the Uni- form Lesson to the departments is a valuable one, and should be continued. Those who can see no good in any other method than Graded Lessons, either look upon this as a step toward graded work, in which it has now served its purpose, or they re- gard it as an impossible makeshift. In either case they want to see it dropped in order to give a clearer 34 course for the pushing of Graded Lessons, especially in the Primary and Junior Departments. THE GRADED-LESSON MOVEMENT The advocates of Graded Lessons base their argu- ment on the sound pedagogical principle that, not only the method of teaching, but the truth to be taught should be adapted to the stage of develop- ment of the pupil. They do not believe that this is possible where the same Scripture passage is to be taught to all classes in the school. They there- fore advocate either a separate series of lessons for each department, or, carrying the principle to its limit, a separate course of lessons for pupils of every year from Beginners to Seniors — from four years old to eighteen — with additional courses for Young People and Adults, making in a large school a score or more of distinct courses to be taught at the same time. The advantage of separate lessons for Beginners, or for the Infant Class, as it long was called, was early recognized. The first provision to meet this need, as already stated by Dr. Rice (p. 19), was made by the Lesson Committee appointed at Denver, in 1902. But advocacy of separate lessons, first for the Primary, then for both Primary and Junior, and (from a different angle) for the Adult Department of the school had begun much earlier than this action. One chief training ground of its advocates was in the city Unions of Primary workers, now known as Graded Unions. 'The Lifant Class Teachers' Union," of Newark, N. J,, was the pioneer in this movement ; and out of it came such leading advocates of Graded Lessons and other progressive steps in the Elementary Division as Mrs. J. Wood- bridge Barnes and Miss Josephine L. Baldwin. Un- der impulses proceeding from the British Section of the Lesson Committee, from the International Pri- 35 mary Teachers' Union — which had grown out of these city groups — and from publishers who had been issuing separate Primary courses, the Lesson Com- mittee issued "Optional Primary Lessons for 1896" ; but the course failed to win favor. THE BOSTON CONFERENCE The agitation and experimentation, however, con- tinued, and resulted next in the issuing by the Com- mittee, in 1903, of an "Optional Two Years' Course for Beginners," which soon came into great favor. In 1906 Mrs. J. W. Barnes, then Elementary Sup- erintendent of the International Sunday-school Asso- ciation, was assigned to give special service and direction to the work of framing a course of Graded Lessons for the Primary and Junior Grades. She formed a group of workers who agreed to give two days a month for two years to the task. This group came to be known as the "Graded Lesson Confer- ence." While their work was in progress it was submitted to experts who tested it both theologically and pegagogically. In January, 1908, Mr. W. N. Hartshorn, a member of the Executive Committee of the International Sunday-School Association, who had been for years in helpful touch with the move- ment, called together in Boston a conference of some fifty Sunday-school leaders, representing the Inter- national Association, the Lesson Committee, the Edi- torial Association (composed of editors and pub- lishers of Sunday-school literature), and the Graded Lesson Conference. After two days' consideration, their conclusions were formulated as follows : (i) That the system of a general lesson for the whole school, which has been in successful use for thirty-five years, is still the most practicable and effec- tive system for the great majority of the Sunday- schools of North America. Because of its past accom- plishments, its present usefulness, and its future possibilities, we recommend its continuance and its fullest development. 36 (2) That the need for a graded system of lessons is expressed by so many Sunday-schools and workers that it should be adequately met by the International Sunday-School Association, and that the Lesson Com- mittee should be instructed by the next International Convention, to be held in Louisville, Ky., June 18-23, 1908, to continue the preparation of a thoroughly graded course covering the entire range of the Sunday- school. GRADED COURSES ISSUED These conclusions were adopted by the Louisville Convention, June, 1908, on recommendation of the Lesson Committee, and that Committee at once pro- ceeded to act upon them. The courses worked out by the Graded Lesson Conference were critically examined and further submitted to Sunday-school leaders, and during 1909 and 1910 seven courses were issued, two each for the Beginners, Primary, and Junior Grades, and one for the Intermediate. Soon after they came into use strong criticism arose, especially in the South, based chiefly on the introduction of wdiat have come to be known as extra-Biblical lessons; that is, lessons chosen from other sources than the Bible, such as missionary biography, etc. This led the Lesson Committee to issue in April, 1911, a set of Biblical lessons to be placed parallel with, and wherever desired to be used instead of, the extra-Biblical lessons appearing in the different Graded Series. The Lesson Committee continued to prepare and issue courses until it has now (1922) provided: a Beginners' Course (two years) ; Primary (three years); Junior (four years); Intermediate (four years) ; Senior (four years) ; Adult (one year) ; with three months' elective courses, of which three are Senior, three Young People's, and seven Adult (one of these especially for parents and one a double course covering six months). To attempt even the most concise summary of the contents of these courses would carry us beyond our 37 limits. To give a general idea it is sufficient to say that the Beginners' courses consist of stories show- ing God's loving care and protection, and illustrat- ing such virtues as helpfulness and kindness; the Primary Series selects various passages showing God's relation to us, and dealing with worship, with God's book, God's house, and God's day. with Jesus' example, and with the conduct of the child Chris- tian; the Junior Series is largely biographical, alter- nating between the Testaments, and including some missionary lessons; the Intermediate Courses study Bible leaders in their historical background, with missionary leaders, both American, and foreign, followed by the life of Jesus, and ending with studies in Christian living ; the Senior Courses em- phasize Hebrew and Christian history, both Biblical and later, with applications to present-day social re- lations, and including some studies of Bible books. The Senior and Young People's Electives and the Adult Courses apply Christian principles to industry, stewardship, temperance, missions, and similar life issues, with a number of book studies. GRADED COURSES IN USE This bare outline of this comprehensive scheme is sufficient to show how thorough has been the labor lovingly bestowed upon it by those who see in it the highway of progress in the religious education of our young people. It suggests, too, how difficult a problem it is for any average Sunday-school of moderate size, dependent upon volunteer leaders, successfully to model its work upon such a plan as is here outlined. These courses have now been available, in part or in whole, for a dozen years. The denominational publishing houses have issued them in attractive form, and Sunday-school editors in their periodicals, and Sunday-school leaders in conventions, institutes, 38 and training schools have done their best to popu- larize them. The result is as yet inconclusive. The use of the Graded Lessons has steadily increased. Well or- ganized and progressive city schools very generally use them in a part if not in the whole of the school. Many schools, however, use them only in the Ele- mentary Division, preferring the Uniform Lessons in the Intermediate, Senior, and Adult Classes. The use of the Uniform Lessons has not been greatly affected by the introduction of the Graded ones. In some sections of the country and in some denomina- tions their use has steadily increased; and it is safe to say, that in the great mass of the smaller and medium-sized schools in the country, in villages, towns, and cities as well, the Uniform Lessons still hold the ground and meet the need. DEPARTMENTAL GRADED COURSES Early in the use of the Graded Lessons it became the conviction of many Sunday-school leaders that, while the principle on wdiich they were formed was the right one, it was carried to an impracticable extreme. This led to the framing of what came to be known as Departmental Graded Lessons. These differed from the Graded (which, to distinguish them, have since been usually known as the Closely Graded) in that they were planned by Departments instead of by years. ^ The Primary Department was still to have three yearly courses, but instead of all three being taught in the department at the same time, they were to be taught in successive years. By this plan only a half-dozen different lessons or less would be taught in a school on a given Sunday instead of several times that many. To this plan it was, of course, objected that a Primary pupil, for example, might first have to study the lessons in- tended for children of eight, and follow them with those intended for children of six and then of seven. 39 This objection has not proved a serious one, how- ever, for any skilled teacher can readily adapt what would specially fit a boy of eight to a boy of six. These Departmental Graded Lessons have been very successfully promoted, especially in certain de- nominations, such as the Presbyterian and Reformed. Thus three distinct series of lessons : Improved Uni- form, Departmental Graded, and Closely Graded have been and are in use side by side in our vSunday- schools. In addition there are various denomina- tional courses, especially in the Episcopal and Lutheran Churches, and certain independent ones issued by different publishing houses. THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS In view of this situation the Lesson Committee appointed April 7, 1920, a Commission of Seven of its members, with Prof. L. A. Weigle as Chairman, "to undertake a thorough survey of the lesson situa- tion in the light of the experience of those using the courses now in existence; and in the light of this survey, to make recommendations concerning the future policy of the International Sunday-School Lesson Committee." This Commission did a care- ful piece of work, reporting its findings to the Les- son Committee from time to time, and seeking to recommend a lesson policy which would promote both progress and unity. As one result of its in- vestigations it recommended that the International Lesson Committee should issue for use, beginning with 1924, a dated series of so-called Group Graded Lessons for the Primary and Junior Departments, and it submitted for criticism the first year's lessons of a three years' series for each. The private cir- culation of the first provisional drafts of these les- sons brought to the Commission communications rep- resenting the views of a large part of the con- stituency which the Lesson Committee serves. These communications brought to view two demands, both 40 widespread and urgently pressed, though hy different groups : 1. The demand that the Committee provide for a full continuance of the Uniform Lessons adapted, or adaptab'le, to the entire school above the Beginners. 2. The demand that the Primary and Junior Group Lessons be issued as substitutes for the Uniform Lessons in those two grades, so that for those grades the Committee should issue only two and not three series of lessons. In the face of these conflicting view's the Commis- sion proposed that the Improved Uniform Lessons, beginning with 1924, should no longer be adapted to the Primary and Junior Departments, but only from the Intermediate Department up. This pro- posal \Vhen it became known, drew a widespread protest from those using the Uniform Lessons. It was urged, and justly, that schools believing the Uniform Lessons best fitted to their needs should have the lessons provided as during the present cycle, with such adaptations as promoted their use by the entire school. It was further urged that those who believed in Graded Lessons ought to be able to unite on one series, to meet the needs of all schools desiring such lessons, in which case the Lesson Committee could fulfil its responsibility to the Sunday-school world by providing one Graded Series and one Uniform Series, and permitting schools to choose between these two series according to their preferences, their size, and their circum- stances. This was the situation when the Commission of Seven submitted its report to the International Les- son Committee at its meeting in Pittsburgh, April 20, 1922. In that report it concisely summed up the situation as it had surveyed and estimated it. Tt stated, first, the reasons which it had found to be urged for the continuance of the Improved Uniform 41 Lessons. These it found to be of two sorts : (a) Reasons based upon considerations of expedi- ency and demand, such as the following: An uneducated constituency is unable to understand and use Graded Lessons ; small schools can never use to advantage anything other than a Uniform Lesson ; Graded Lessons are too difficult ; we tried Graded Les- sons and went back to the Uniform ; the Uniform Lessons simplify the work of the superintendent, make it possible for him to supervise the preparation of the lesson in a weekly teachers' meeting, and render it easy for him to secure substitute teachers without previous notice ; w^e ought to retain L'niform Lessons for the sake of strangers and commercial travelers ; the litera- ture of the Uniform Lessons is cheap, whereas Graded Lessons cost too much for many schools ; the name "Uniform Lesson" has value and prestige that dare not be surrendered. (b) Reasons based upon principle; these, again, are of two sorts : There are reasons, first, which are based upon the pedagogical principle of fellowship and association, which stress the value of the association of all the members of the school, old and young, in the study of a common lesson, with the reinforcement of home study, family worship, and weekly prayer-meeting, and the co-operation of religious and secular papers. There are reasons, second, w^hich are based upon principles of theology, concerning the nature of the moral and religious experience and needs of children. Reasons of this sort may be urged in three forms: (i) That the writers of the Graded Lesson helps have not rightly understood or dealt with the religious needs of children of various ages; (2) that the Graded Les- son outlines issued by the Lesson Committee do not reflect a correct tmderstanding of these religious needs; and (3) that there are, in fact, no such differ- ences between children and adults, with respect to their moral and religious capacities and needs, as will justify anything other than Uniform Lessons. Over against these reasons urged for the con- tinuance of Uniform Lessons the Commission stated certain defects: (a) A uniform series of lessons contains no prin- ciple of progression whereby the pupil is able to meas- ure his advance from grade to grade. It is impossible, 42 moreover, for the teacher fully and effectively to correlate Uniform Lesstms with the work of the pupil in the public schools and with the rest of the pupil's education. (b) The general outlines of a uniform series of lessons are chosen without reference to the moral and religious experiences and needs of any particular grade or age-group ; and these outlines, therefore, do not provide for children in the younger age-groups such ordered Christian nurture and systematic instruction in the simple fundamentals of Christian faith as they most need for the upbuilding, through the Holy Spirit, of moral and religious character. At best the Improved Uniform Lessons, in the Primary and Junior grades, can furnish merely a succession of adapted lessons ; they do not, in any proper sense of the term, consti- tute a graded series of lessons. (c) The uniform principle forms an inadequate basis for the teaching of the full range of Biblical truth. It causes such passages only to be chosen for lesson material as can, in the judgment of the Com- mittee, yield some message to all pupils in the school, young and old. The tendency, therefore, is to over- emphasize the narrative portions of the Bible and to neglect the more abstract and difficult portions. The Gospels and Acts are thus given a due measure of attention, and the narratives of the Old Testament more than their relative value warrants ; while the Wisdom literature, the Law, the Poetry, and worst of all, the Prophets of the Old Testament and the Epistles of the New Testament, are relatively neg- lected. To neglect these portions of the Bible is to miss much of the richest truth of God's Word. In view of this situation the Commission presented recommendations which the International Lesson Committee after careful consideration adopted. These laid down as the working policy of the Com- mittee the following: (i) That the International Lesson Committee con- tinue to issue Improved Uniform Lessons in such cycles and zvith such material as its judgment may from time to time approve; hut, beginning with 1924, ziith adaptations to the Intermediate, Senior, Young People's and Adult Departments only. (2) That the Committee recognize the Primary Group Lessons and the Junior Group Lessons, begin- 43 iting ii'ith 1924, as sKbstitiitious, zcithin the Improved Uniform Series, for the Primary and Junior adapta- tions hitherto issued. (3) That the Committee recognize the Improved Uniform Lessons, beginning liith 1924, as an alter- native course, zvithin the Group Graded Scries, for all pupils above the Junior age-group. As immediate steps toward the fulfihneiit of this general policy the Committee voted: (i) That a six-year cycle of Improved Uniform Lessons be authori::ed, beginning zi'ifh 1926, with adaptations to Intcrincdiate, Setiior, Voutig People's and Adult Departments. {2) That the Subcommittee on Improved Uni- form Lessons be unrestricted by instructions as to the range and character of material to be selected, in viezi' of the probable desirability that the Uniform Lessons, for some years to come, should be adapt- able to the use of Primary and Junior pupils: even though specific adaptations of title and material to these grades are not provided by the Committee. Thus American Sunday-schools, so far as they follow the courses prepared and issued by the Inter- national Sunday-School Lesson Committee (soon, no doubt, to become an integral part of the International Sunday-School Council of Religious Education), w^ill have offered to them the choice between three series of lessons. They may first, use the International Graded Lessons, providing a separate lesson for pupils of each year throughout the membership of the school ; or, second, they may use the new Group Graded Lessons in the Primary and Junior Depart- ments, and the International Uniform Lessons from the Intermediate Department up ; or, third, they may use the Improved Uniform Lessons in all depart- ments of the school above the Beginners, with the adaptations which the Committee has provided for each department for 1924, and which for subsequent years will no doubt be otherwise provided for the Primary and Junior grades, to supplement the adap- tations to the other grades which the Committee will furnish. 44 Clearly the Sunday-school is a progressive move- ment, and each new decade, if not each new year, will witness hetter methods of accomplishing its work than have heen used hefore. There are incon- veniences, however, in living in buildings from which the scaffolding is never taken down. WEEKDAY RELIGIOUS EDUCATION One subject remains to be briefly mentioned. Re- ligious education of boys and girls is no longer to be done only, or perhaps even chiefly, in the Sunday- school. We are in the midst of a movement to add religious education to the secular education by which we are training our boys and girls for life. Week- day religious education, in some form or other, is steadily permeating our educational system. Vaca- tion Bibie schools, after twenty years of trial, are conclusively proving their value and spreading from the cities to the towns and even into the country districts. The problem now is to work out a cur- riculum of religious education which will correlate the weekday work w^ith the work of the Sunday-school. The new movement will make the Sunday-school no less, but all the more, important. At the same meet- ing of the International Lesson Committee already referred to, on April 20, 1922, at Pittsburgh, a Sub- committee on an International Curriculum of Re- ligious Education was appointed ''to undertake the construction of a curriculum of religious education which shall provide in integrated fashion for both Sunday and weekday hours." This Subcommittee has before it a task of great importance, and the results of its labors should be of widespread influ- ence and value. 45 List of Lesson Committees 1872-1922 (The committee that made the first selection of the present "Uniform Series" of lessons was appointed by twenty-nine representatives of Sunday-school publishing societies and houses in New York, August, 1871. This committee selected a list of trial lessons for 1872. The next committee was appointed by the National Sunday- School Convention, at Indianapolis, in 1872, to select les- sons for a seven-years' cycle of study. New lesson com- mittees, American Section, were successively appointed by the International Sunday-School Conventions. The "Brit- ish Section" of each was named by the Council of the London Svmday-School Union.) Publishers' Committee Appointed August, 1871, by publishers, to select Trial Lessons for 1872 Rev.

The ten members of the first Lesson Committee were chosen from five of the denominatinns interested in the scheme in America. Two were I'.aptist, two Congregationalist, two Metho- dist Episcopal, two Presbyterian, and two Protestant Episcopal. Two were added from Canada, J. Monro (iibson, Presbyterian, and A. Macallum, making twelve in tlie first committee. 49 The second committee numbered fourteen Americans; three were r>aptist, one Congregationalist, one Lutheran, four Metho- dist, four Presbyterian, and one Protestant Episcopal. Two were added from England, F. J. Hartley and W. H. Groser. Ten denominations were represented in the fifth committee. The proportion of clergymen in the committee has been gradu- ally increased, so that for 1900- 1905 only three were laymen. In the British Section the proportion was more evenly balanced at first; later clergymen predominated, as in the American Section. The representation on the Lesfon Committee, American Sec- tion, has been based on the numbers in the denominations using the System, e. g., Baptist, 4.000,000, 3 members; Congrega- tional, 600,000. I mem1)er; Discijiles, 1,000,000, i member; Lutheran, i member; Methodist, 5,000,000. 3 members; Presby- terian, 1.700.000, 3 members; Protestant Episcopal, 798,000, i member; Reformed, 340,000, and United Brethren, 260,000, each I member. P>ut only a fraction of some of these bodies use the System. Li.ssoN Committee Under New List Revised to April, 1922.
