This annual magazine, which ran from 1899 to at least 1914, was designed to nurture Christian faith and moral character in young readers through a blend of storytelling, devotional content, and educational material. Each volume compiled stories, poems, and illustrations aimed at engaging children while imparting Christian values. The stories often featured moral lessons, biblical narratives, and examples of virtuous behavior, aligning with the religious and educational objectives of the SPCK. Illustrators such as Charles Robinson, W. Heath Robinson, and Edith Farmiloe contributed to the magazine, enhancing its appeal and accessibility to young audiences. The magazine was published in hardcover volumes, each containing a year's worth of issues. For example, the 1900 edition includes content from January 1899 to December 1900. These volumes were bound in yellow cloth with gilt borders and titles, featuring black-and-white illustrations throughout. Over time, some copies have become collectible items, with certain editions available for purchase through antiquarian booksellers. Golden Sunbeams reflects the Edwardian era's emphasis on moral instruction and religious education for children. While specific details about its impact and readership are limited, the magazine serves as a historical example of early 20th-century efforts to integrate Christian teachings with children's literature..
