Here is another snowball game: Secure a small hoop and ask some large boy to hold it up as high as possible. Then select five girls and five boys each holding five balls apiece. Ask them to stand six feet away from the hoop and to cast as many balls through the hoop as possible. Each child continues to cast the balls until he misses one, then he is out, and the next child tries out his skill. The object of the game is to see which side will cast through the hoop the larger number of balls. The side which does this is the winning side. These games and others like them which may occur to the mind of the committee of arrangements will give the little folks a merry time. Tell the children that this Christmas-tree in August is the king of trees because it is a giving tree; it is therefore blessed by Jesus because he has said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." =54 THE JUNIOR POST-OFFICE OBJECTS: A Box in Which the Letters Can Be Deposited= This book has been telling you what to say to children. The Junior Post-office will enable the children to say words to you. This is the Junior Post-office idea. Have a letterbox placed on the outside of your study door. Have posted up over this box the words "For Junior Mail Only." Ask the children to write to you and drop their mail in this box, and you will receive it promptly and will gladly answer every letter. When you receive the letters and answer them, announce from the pulpit that you have letters for the following juniors, and then read out the names and say the letters will be found on the pulpit table and can be secured after the service. Sometimes it will have a larger effect if you send the answer through the regular mail to their homes. Children like to receive letters in the regular way; they regard such letters as highly important. Announce at your Junior Service that you would be glad if they would write to you about the story or lesson of the evening. Let them tell the story you told in their own words, and you will be richly rewarded with a stock of information which they will thus give to you as to how children listen and oftentimes fail to get your point and don't understand the meaning of the words you use. You will often be surprised to note how well they do hear and how much you have put into their heads and hearts. You will notice the words they use, and how they construct their sentences. You will also get a hint as to the action of their little minds when they are thinking.
