The manner of using these Alphabets is, for a child to stand in the rostrum, having 26 squares of wood, on which are painted the letters of the alphabet, great and small. The child then holding up the square, on which the letters A. a. are drawn, calls aloud-"A stands for Angel, that praises the Lord;" which the children, looking at the letters, repeat after him. He then holds up B. b., and so on throughout the whole 26 squares. Thus the children become familiarized with the letters, and at the same time their little minds are stored with Scripture truths; which, under the teaching of the Holy Spirit, may lead them "to a knowledge of Him, whom to know is life eternal."
