Persons desiring to unite with the C. L. S. C. should
forward answers to the following questions to Miss K. F.
Kimball, Plainfield, N. J. The class graduating in 1886
should begin the study of the lessons required October,
1882. They _may_ begin as late as January 1, 1883.
1. Give your name in full. 2. Your postoffice address, with
county and State. 3. Are you married or single? 4. What
is your age? Are you between twenty and thirty, or thirty
and forty, or forty and fifty, or fifty and sixty, etc.?
5. If married, how many children living under the age of
sixteen years?[H] 6. What is your occupation? 7. With what
religious denomination are you connected? 8. Do you, after
mature deliberation, resolve, if able, to prosecute the four
years’ course of study presented by the C. L. S. C.? 9. Do
you promise to give an average of four hours a week to the
reading and study required by this course? 10. How much more
than the time specified do you hope to give to this course
of study?
11.—TIME REQUIRED.
An average of forty minutes reading each week day will
enable the students in nine months to complete the books
required for the year. More time than this will probably be
spent by many persons, and for their accommodation a special
course of reading on the same subject has been indicated.
The habit of thinking steadily upon worthy themes during
one’s secular toil will lighten labor, brighten life, and
develop power.
12.—MEMORANDA.
The annual examinations will be held at the homes of the
members, and in writing. Memoranda will be forwarded to
them, and by their written replies the committee can judge
whether or not they have read the books required.
13.—ATTENDANCE AT CHAUTAUQUA.
Persons should be present to enjoy the annual meetings
at Chautauqua, but attendance there is not necessary to
graduation in the C. L. S. C. Persons who have never visited
Chautauqua may enjoy the advantages, diploma, and honors
of the Circle. The ASSEMBLY DAILY HERALD is published on
the grounds during the Chautauqua Assembly. Send $1 for the
DAILY HERALD to T. L. Flood, Meadville, Pa. Back numbers can
be supplied.
14.—MISCELLANEOUS.
For the story of the C. L. S. C., and explanation of the
Local Circles, the Memorial Days to be observed by all
true C. L. S. C. members, St. Paul’s Grove at Chautauqua,
etc., etc., address (inclose three-cent stamp), Miss K. F.
Kimball, Plainfield, N. J., who will forward the Chautauqua
Hand-Book, No. 2, sixty-four pages. Blank forms, containing
the ten questions given in paragraph 10, will also be sent
on application.

Let us keep our Heavenly Father in the midst.
Never be discouraged.
