Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I ... took an active part in the work of the [Old Meeting Church] and became a Sunday School teacher. Happily, the class of small boys I was called on to manage could be weaned from the general disorder of the school by descriptive stories from the Old Testament, the thrilling tales of Kingsley's heroes, and the recital of narrative poetry.'
