Some time ago an item was dis
covered in one of our papers stating
that Miss Helen M. Gould would give
a teacher’s Hible, to each Sunday
School scholar who world commit to
memory the Hooks and certain pas
sages of the Bible and recite them
at one time in the presence of witness
es. The article was read to the
children and for a time Bibles were
in demand on every hand. The next
mail brought a paper saying that the
offer was to he confined to the Y. M.
C. A’s. and the Y. W. C. A’s. and
certain Sunday schools only. Not
withstanding the Bible was guaran
teed to all who would fulfil the con
ditions, there has not been the keen
interest since.
