First Sunday School Organized in Logan Utah

First Sunday School Organized in Logan Utah

told by Susan E. Johnson


Our first Sunday School was organized by Elder William H. Sherman from Salt Lake City, Utah. Word was given out that a meeting would be held at ten O' Clock and for everyone to be there. I went and was handed a song book, all who had books were ask to come to the stage to sing their first song which was "Little Drops of Water". He sang the first line then asked everybody to join in and sing. I do not remember who offered the opening prayer, the second song was "Let us all both old and young every day grow better."

I was 14 years of age then and was chosen as a Sunday School Teacher, which I taught for two years, by this time the School was in good running order. Their first class book was "Your Light has Gone out on the Water", by Nellie Lincoln. Their next was "Pilgrims Progress" which they finished during the year. Soon after this time the Juvenile was published then we got along better.
