Memory Verse Cards for Children

By Editor

We now have Memory Verse Cards containing the central or an essential text of each Sabbath-school lesson. They are printed on neat, attractive, illustrated cards, and are put up in sets of thirteen cards each. One set supplies one card for one child every Sabbath in the quarter. The neat card, a gift from the teacher, materially assists in rendering the memorizing of these texts a real pleasure. Once committed to memory, these golden texts abide with the child through life, and aid in the proper molding of the child’s life. In this good work of keeping the Word of God before the child, we are tactfully helping the child to hide the word in his heart, that it may be his defense through life, and result in his final salvation. Fifty-two important texts each year fixed indelibly in the children’s minds, is worth our best efforts, and many times the cost of the few cards which materially assist in many ways.

Giving the children pleasant and good things to see—teaching through the eye—has not been properly appreciated in our educational work. God gave the child a natural craving for pretty things, even a strong attachment for trinkets not always comely in appearance, nor of any special value; yet the child cherishes them. From them he draws his conclusions, stimulates his imaginations, and to a larger degree than some think, forms his character. If this is true, is it not wisdom to place in his hands the word of life in such attractive form that he will receive it and assimilate it? The use of the Memory Verse Cards will be a great blessing in our Sabbath-school work. They can be used in a variety of ways, which will at once suggest themselves to the skilful teacher.

These Memory Verse Cards are furnished at seven cents a set. They should be ordered from the Sabbath School Worker, Takoma Park, D. C.
