My Book for Fall - Religious Nurture for the Nursery Class Child 1942

July 30, 2012
I just came across an old (copyright 1942) Sunday School nursery class book by Mary Edna Lloyd that my Mom had found and purchased at a thrift store.

It's a soft cover book 8 1/2" x 7 1/2". The black and white photos and innocence of the period are evident in the photos and stories. I hope you enjoy it.


You don't see teachers with lace collars like that anymore!



The boy on the lower right has a giant ringlet on top of his head.


When was the last time you put a headscarf on yourself or anyone else?






















A little nostalgia on a Monday!

  1. What a delightful book. I recently came across my grandmother's object lesson book. Her name in her own handwriting was in it with my mother's below hers. I put my name in it and passed it on to my daughter who works with children.

  2. That is such a wonderful book. I remember a picture of myself when I was probably that little girl's age and I have a headscarf just like that on my head. It was probably 1956. hehehe

  14. I love this book, it brings those inocent and simple family life to yearn for these days of so much of a tumultuous world and people and broken and "different" families have changed everything so much! I've seen beautiful pics like this from hubby's family, he has older bros from that era, even though I'm a little girl from the fiftees, I was dressed in Sunday best and lots of dresses for almost everyday. In so many ways.. days gone by were the best! Happy weekend.

  15. Oh Carlene, this is a precious book. Oh how I love images of those slower paced lifestyles. Things have changed so much and the innocence of youth is not quite the same. Kids seem to grow up way too fast anymore. Thanks for sharing this sweet thing with Share Your Cup.
    Hugs,
