A Bag With Holes and Other Addresses To Children
By James Aitchison
Published by Charles H. Kelly: London c1904 (undated - likely 1st Edition)

" A Bag With Holes and Other Addresses to Children by James Aitchison was first published in 1904. This collection features a series of moral and spiritual talks aimed at young audiences, originally delivered as addresses to children in a religious setting. Aitchison, a Scottish minister, uses vivid analogies and everyday imagery—such as the titular "bag with holes"—to impart lessons about faith, obedience, honesty, and the consequences of sin. The style is accessible and engaging, designed to capture the attention of children while delivering clear Christian messages rooted in Biblical teaching.

Throughout the book, Aitchison balances gentle instruction with imaginative storytelling, making abstract religious principles understandable to young minds. Each chapter focuses on a specific moral theme, often drawing from scripture and linking it to the practical experiences of a child's world. While the tone is didactic, it remains warm and sincere, reflecting Aitchison's pastoral concern for the spiritual formation of his listeners. The book stands as an example of early 20th-century religious education for children within the Presbyterian tradition.​"
