This is not an easy task as it requires some memory effort, but it is worth the while and the effort. All children love stories, and instruction by stories is always winsome to them. It is easy on their heads. This method puts life and movement into facts, and the little folks like it much because the story method of learning things turns labor into play. In this chapter the names of the books of the New Testament have been put together in story form. Cause the children to commit to memory the story and then to recite it in concert frequently during the meeting. After they have learned it well, ask them to think of the story, but repeat out loud the names of the books. By this simple method the books of the New Testament will be nailed down in their memory for years to come. This is the story: =The Books of the New Testament in Story Form= _Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John_ determined on _Acts_ of discovery, accompanied by seven brave _Romans,_ started on a pilgrimage to find the Temple of Truth. _First_ and _Second Corinthians_ gave them all two changes of raiment, and, as they were passing out of the city gate, they were met by _Galatians_ and _Ephesians_ who supplied them camels for their journey, and there the two famous sword-makers, _Philippians_ and _Colossians_, gave them swords and shields for the conflict. As they journeyed on, they met _First_ and _Second Thessalonians_ seated at Jacob's well reading _First_ and _Second Timothy_. With hearts stirred by the truth, they marched bravely on when they noticed the approach of a lone camel upon which was seated _Titus_, who was returning from a visit to _Philemon_, who he announced was keeping the true faith. They then passed through the encampment of the _Hebrews_, where they found _James_ expounding the gospel to _First_ and _Second Peter_, who announced to them that the Palace of Truth was at the end of the road leading out of the encampment, and that _First, Second,_ and _Third John_ had been watching for their caravan all night. When they arrived at the Palace of Truth, _Jude_ the door-keeper gave them an open door and told them to enter in peace. As they retired to rest in comfort after their long journey, _Revelation_ stood on guard in the tower, watching the signs of the times. Ask the children to repeat this story in concert as an opening exercise for their meeting. This is a New Testament rosary. The beads are the books, the string is the story. =50 WHAT TEN CORDS COULD NOT DO OBJECTS: Ten Cords Three Feet Long and a Double Heart=
