Excerpt from Housing the Sunday School or a Practical Study of Sunday School Buildings
The groves were God's first temples. Ere man learned To hew the shaft, and lay the architrave And spread the roof above them, - ere he framed The lofty vault, to gather and roll back The sound of anthems; in the darkling wood, Amidst the cool and silence, he knelt down, And offered to the Mightiest solemn thanks And supplication. William cullen bryant.
In Old Testament times practically all religious instruction was given in the open air. During the wilderness wanderings of God's chosen people, the tabernacle came into use, and later, after the Israelites reached the Promised Land, we find the temple, which was the outgrowth of the tabernacle. But neither taber naele nor temple was intended as an audience room. They were rather the abode of Deity than places in which the people assem bled to worship. Later came the synagogue, which was con structed to accommodate an audience, and this is the first expres sion we have of an audience room for the worship of God. Out of the synagogue came the church.

Uriah Marion Lawrance was an American author and promoter of organized Sunday-school activity. He was a secretary of the World's Sunday School Association from 1910 to 1914.
Background
Uriah Marion Lawrance was born on October 2, 1850. He was the son of Elonson Lawrance, a farmer and country school teacher of Winchester, Preble County, Ohio, and his wife, Amanda Melvina (Irwin). Named for the family hero, General Francis Marion, he chose to be known as Marion rather than as Uriah. In 1854 the Lawrances moved to Yellow Springs, and here the father kept the Antioch College bookstore. The enterprise proving a failure, Marion was thrown on his own resources at an early age.
Education
He attended Antioch College for one year. His ill health compelled him to give up his course.
Career
While at his teens Lawrance worked as a farmer, storekeeper, and teacher. After the college he engaged in various business ventures till 1889, first in Syracuse, New York, and then in Toledo, Ohio. At sixteen he had been an active Sunday-school worker in his family church, which was of the Christian denomination.
In 1876 he became superintendent of the Sunday-school of the Washington Street Congregational Church, Toledo, which under his guidance developed into the model school of the country. Made secretary of the Ohio Sunday School Association in 1889, he brought it to a high degree of efficiency. In 1899 he became general secretary of the International Sunday School Association, which he shaped into a closely knit organization, with cooperating branches in every state. This body became affiliated with similar ones in other countries and there resulted the World's Sunday School Association, of which, also, he served as secretary from 1910 to 1914.
Lawrance attended many world conventions and was especially prominent in those at Jerusalem, 1904, Rome, 1907, Washington, 1910, Zurich, 1913, and Tokyo, 1920. He made a speaking tour through the British Isles in 1911 as the guest of the British and World's Sunday School associations, at the close of which he was tendered a luncheon in the Parliament buildings at which many distinguished officials were present.
After the latter date, he devoted his entire time to the International Association, which largely owed to him its compact organization, its use of uniform lessons, its teacher-training courses and summer conferences. In 1922 it was completely reorganized as the International Council of Religious Education, becoming broadly interdenominational. Of this new organization, for whose perfection Lawrance was largely responsible, he was made secretary emeritus.
Among his publications are: How to Conduct a Sunday-School (1905, 1915); The Working Manual of a Successful Sunday-School (1908); Training the Teacher (1908), with others; Housing the Sunday-School (1911); The Sunday-School Organized for Service (1914); Special Days in the Sunday-School (1916); The Church-school Blue-Print (1924); My Message to Sunday-School Workers (1924).
He died at Portland, Oregon from over-exertion while on an extended speaking tour.
Achievements
Lawrance was probably the best-known Sunday school man of his day. His best-known work, "How to Conduct a Sunday-School" (1905, 1915), had a larger sale than any other work on the subject and has been translated into a dozen languages. He was also a voluminous contributor to periodicals.
