Each morning, some one of such practical texts as the following could be given out for the children to reflect on through the day, and in reference to which, they can be required to seek from books, or from their friends, some cases in which this command of God is either obeyed or disobeyed.
“Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
“Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”
“Recompense to no one evil for evil.”
“Forbear one another, and forgive one another, if any one have a quarrel; as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.”
“Bless them that curse you; bless, and curse not.”
“If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink.”
“Put away lying, and speak every one truth with his neighbour.”
“Put on humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering.”
