The New Junior Workers’ Manual

CHAPTER I WHY?

The Junior society is no longer an experiment. It has stood the test of time and experience. This handbook, therefore, is not a defense of Junior work, but an attempt to present to superintendents some principles and methods that may help them in their labors.

The Junior society does one very definite service for the child. It more than doubles the time given to its religious instruction. The Sunday-school hour is all too short for the task. The Junior soci- ety adds another hour, and to this again whatever time is devoted during the week to committee work. The effect of this extra training, especially in view of the character of it, is to give a distinct advan- tage to the child that passes through the society.
