And we never had to turn HIS speeches inside out to discover their meaning . The social life of juvenile Carlisle centred in the day and Sunday Schools . We were especially interested in our Sunday School , for we were fortunate enough to be assigned to a teacher who made our lessons so interesting that we no longer regarded Sunday School attendance as a disagreeable weekly duty ; but instead looked forward to it with pleasure , and tried to carry out our teacher 's gentle precepts -- at least on Mondays and Tuesdays . I am afraid the remembrance grew a little dim the rest of the week . She was also deeply interested in missions ; and one talk on this subject inspired the Story Girl to do a little home missionary work on her own account . The only thing she could think of , along this line , was to persuade Peter to go to church . Felicity did not approve of the design , and said so plainly . `` He wo n't know how to behave , for he 's never been inside a church door in his life , '' she warned the Story Girl . `` He 'll likely do something awful , and then you 'll feel ashamed and wish you 'd never asked him to go , and we 'll all be disgraced . It 's all right to have our mite boxes for the heathen , and send missionaries to them . They 're far away and we do n't have to associate with them . But I do n't want to have to sit in a pew with a hired boy . '' But the Story Girl undauntedly continued to coax the reluctant Peter . It was not an easy matter . Peter did not come of a churchgoing stock ; and besides , he alleged , he had not yet made up his mind whether to be a Presbyterian or a Methodist . `` It is n't a bit of difference which you are , '' pleaded the Story Girl . `` They both go to heaven . '' `` But one way must be easier or better than the other , or else they 'd all be one kind , '' argued Peter . `` I want to find the easiest way . And I 've got a hankering after the Methodists .
