The following little verses upon the same principle have been found to answer extremely well, by putting one child in the rostrum, and desiring him purposely to leave out those words that are marked, the other children will fill them up as he goes.
I must pray
Both —— and day.
Before —— eat
I must entreat,
That —— would bless
To me —— meat.
I must not play
On God's own day,
But I must hear
His word with fear.
It is a sin
To steal a pin
Much more to steal
A greater thing.
I must work,
And I must pray,
That God will feed
Me day by day.
