- Notes
- "I remember my Sunday school teacher vividly. She played the organ and planned picnics, games, boat trips and concerts. There were several hotels in the area, and at the end of the season, books left behind were donated to our church. The Sunday school teacher, who knew there was no library at our small, one-room public school, made a large chart. For every month's perfect attendance -- and learning your Bible stories and memorizing verses and prayers -- you would receive a book of your choice. You could also trade your books. I cannot say how much those books meant to me. I never missed Sunday school, and eventually became a Sunday school teacher myself". [Text of entire article.]
