"But what shall we do when there is only shingle?" said Ada.

"Then we must collect a circle of stones to sit on, and get the children to heap up shingle for seats."

"It will not be so nice," said Ada.

"What a quantity of hymn sheets you will want!" said Isabel.

"One apiece, all round, every morning!" said Arthur.

"I see," said Arthur; "so you look at giving those away as some part of the work you want us to do?"

"For God," added his brother.

"Yes; I meant that," said Arthur.
