The Children's Tabernacle; Or, Hand-Work and Heart-Work, written by A. L. O. E. and first published in 1871, is a juvenile fiction work that intertwines Christian themes with family dynamics. The story follows the Temple siblings, Lucius and Agnes, as they transform their idle time during a bout of whooping cough into a meaningful project: constructing a model of the biblical Tabernacle. Through this hands-on activity, the children engage in discussions about faith, moral character, and the significance of devotion, making it a notable example of religious educational literature for young readers.
