Now the way I am going to plan it is to read over the verses, and
make my report in my little blank book before I leave my room in the
morning. Perhaps that will not be a convenient time for all of you.
Perhaps the little people who cannot yet read nor write, will have to
wait for mamma’s or papa’s or sister’s leisure hour, to get help. But
I wish all who could would join me in the morning before going down
stairs; then, after the reading, we will kneel down and ask God to help
us remember the verses all day.
I would like to have each member of the P. S. who will join this Bible
Band, send me a letter addressed to Winter Park, Florida, giving his or
her promise to obey the rules of the Band as given here. To all such I
will send a little card for their Bible bookmark with the name of the
reader written on the back, and the date of the pledge. I shall keep
a roll of all members of the Bible Band. At the end of each month I
should be glad to have a copy of what you wrote in your little blank
books. If you like, you might get a large sheet of paper, the first of
the month, and make a copy for me each day, sending it to me at the
close of the month.
I shall keep a list of those reports, and, at the close of the year, I
will publish the names of those members who have reported each month,
and send them each a little token of my pleasure because of their
faithfulness.
Now I wonder how large a Band I shall have? Of course I will keep you
informed through THE PANSY of its size and growth, and send you words
of greeting. I think a great many of you will join me. I hope so. It
will be very pleasant to think of my Blossoms reading and thinking each
day about the same Bible verses. Who will be the first to send in his
name, and receive the bookmark?
Lovingly,
PANSY.
P. S.—If any of you know of something unusually nice, which happened at
Thanksgiving time, write us an account of it.
