papers.
After the chapel was completed
we organized a gymnasium class
where the boys receive a series o£
drills and have innocent games that
help them to develop their bodies,
give them confldence and teach them
to think as well as act quickly. This
was something absolutely new to the
boys and they take a great interest
in every part of it. They carry the
same interest into the Sabbath
School class -on Sabbath day and
thus their teacher is able to sow the
good seed in hearts ready to receive
it.
The Influence of this class goes
further than to the boys themselves,
for you know a child's parents, no
matter how indifferent they may be
to religion, have pride in their children
and what they do. Last winter
some of the mothers brought
their boys who were afraid to be out
in the dark, for it would be dark in
the winter evenings before I could
get out there; these women would
either wait at a neighbor's till the
class was over or have me promise to
take them home. Is it not strange to
see the efforts they make for a little
pleasure and yet never think of getting
the children to heaven, where
