This is the beginning entry in my synopsis of Charles Spurgeon's book "Come Ye' Children." Here is the introduction to Mr. Spurgeon and this work:

"He is most well known for his voluminous sermons, his commentary on the Psalms called “A Treasury of David” and his Mornings and Evenings Devotionals. Mr. Spurgeon was a master teacher, and he held a special place in his heart for children. He built an orphanage for boys and girls, promoted the teaching of God’s Word to young children, and generally held children in rather high esteem for his day and age.

At some point in his preaching career, Mr. Spurgeon wrote a small book titled “Come Ye’ Children” named after the well known scripture from Psalm 34:11. The book is subtitled “A Book for Parents and Teachers on the Christian Training of Children” and is recognized as one of the most valuable books ever written on the subject the Christian training of Children. It has been used in seminaries since Spurgeon penned it for instructing students on the conversion of children."

Chapter 1 deals with the call, benefits, methods and rewards of working with children!
