48 a Year, 336 at 9

A LITTLE Washington boy, three years of age, who of course cannot read, looks at the pictures of last year’s Memory Verse Cards, and recites accurately and without hesitation the text of each card—48 in all. At this rate, when he is nine years of age he will have indelibly stamped upon his plastic mind, 336 of the golden texts of the Bible—enough to form his character, to guide him through life, and to make him firm and unswerving in his faith.

The Memory Verse Cards greatly aid the child in memorizing the Scriptures. The cards attract and arrest the attention, focus the thought upon the subject and stamp it upon the mind. When a child can see and handle while he hears, there seems to be a reenforced combination of the triplicate power of the three strongest senses,—sight, touch, and sound,—and the result is a quick and permanent impression upon the mind. The illustrated Memory Verse Card system is, therefore, a great success in our Sabbath schools. These cards are worth far more than they cost. Schools cannot afford to do without them.
