No more taking bugs to Sunday School , Carl , and no more chewing gum in public , if you please , Miss Faith . '' `` No more making fun of elders praying or going to the Methodist prayer meeting , '' retorted Faith . `` Why , it is n't any harm to go to the Methodist prayer meeting , '' protested Jerry in amazement . `` Mrs. Elliott says it is , She says manse children have no business to go anywhere but to Presbyterian things . '' `` Darn it , I wo n't give up going to the Methodist prayer meeting , '' cried Jerry . `` It 's ten times more fun than ours is . '' `` You said a naughty word , '' cried Faith . `` NOW , you 've got to punish yourself . '' `` Not till it 's all down in black and white . We 're only talking the club over . It is n't really formed until we 've written it out and signed it . There 's got to be a constitution and by-laws . And you KNOW there 's nothing wrong in going to a prayer meeting . '' `` But it 's not only the wrong things we 're to punish ourselves for , but anything that might hurt father . '' `` It wo n't hurt anybody . You know Mrs. Elliott is cracked on the subject of Methodists . Nobody else makes any fuss about my going . I always behave myself . You ask Jem or Mrs. Blythe and see what they say . I 'll abide by their opinion .
I 'm going XXXXX the paper now and I 'll bring out the lantern and we 'll all sign . ''
