The badge for members will be the same as the officer's, with the
exception of having no fringe and a silver pin.
And the PANSY will help. As it has always been glad to
encourage those who are struggling up toward the light, so now it
reaches forth its helping hand to those little ones who will rally
bravely around it, to the work of putting down the evil, and the
support of all things good and beautiful.
So many of you have little brothers and sisters who want to join the P.
S., and who of course do not need an extra copy of the paper, that we
have concluded to receive all such, letting them pay ten cents each for
their badges, if they wish them. Understand! If you are a subscriber
to THE PANSY, and have a badge, and have a little sister who
would like a badge, write at her dictation a little letter to Pansy,
taking the pledge, telling of some habit which she means to try to
break, and enclosing twelve cents in two-cent stamps, ten to pay for
the badge, and two to pay the postage for sending it. Her name will be
enrolled as if she were a subscriber. The same advice applies of course
to little brothers. Send your letters to Mrs. G. R. ALDEN,
Chapel Street, Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, O.
It is also asked:--
What makes an officer of the Pansy Society?
You are to endeavor to organize a club of as many members as you can.
Each one forming such a Club or Society will receive the Officer's
badge, and become President of the same. The local Society may contain
as many members as can be secured.
Then, of course, you will plan for your Society; how often it shall be
called together, and what your rules shall be; whether you will sing,
or visit, or work, or have a literary society, or read a book. The only
thing you call on the members to positively promise is that each will
try to overcome some bad habit, and will take for the whisper motto the
words--
"FOR JESUS' SAKE."
Each member of the "P. S." is invited to write to the editor, Mrs.
G. R. Alden (Pansy), Cincinnati, O., how far the trial has proved a
success, how many temptations have been resisted, how much progress in
any direction has been made, etc., feeling sure of encouragement and
loving help.
THE PANSY has extra pages each month under the heading,
"The Pansy Corner," in which Pansy holds monthly talks with her
correspondents. There is ample space in the corner devoted to
interesting items connected with the Pansy Society; also letters from
its members.
Mrs. Alden would also be pleased to know how the members are getting
on--what they are reading, studying, talking about, etc., and whether
the badges are helping them to keep their pledges.
PROSPECTUS--BABYLAND--FOR 1886.
The Magazine for the Babies, this coming year, in
addition to its bright pictures, and gay little
jingles, and sweet stories, will have some especial
delights for both Mamma and Baby:
