Wo n't there ever be any Saturdays in heaven , Anne ? '' `` Yes , Saturdays , and every other kind of beautiful days . And every day in heaven will be more beautiful than the one before it , Davy , '' assured Anne , who was rather glad that Marilla was not by to be shocked . Marilla , it is needless to say , was bringing the twins up in the good old ways of theology and discouraged all fanciful speculations thereupon . Davy and Dora were taught a hymn , a catechism question , and two Bible verses every Sunday . Dora learned meekly and recited like a little machine , with perhaps as much understanding or interest as if she were one . Davy , on the contrary , had a lively curiosity , and frequently asked questions which made Marilla tremble for his fate . `` Chester Sloane says we 'll do nothing all the time in heaven but walk around in white dresses and play on harps ; and he says he hopes he wo n't have to go till he 's an old man , 'cause maybe he 'll like it better then . And he thinks it will be horrid to wear dresses and I think so too . Why ca n't men angels wear trousers , Anne ? Chester Sloane is interested in those things , 'cause they 're going to make a minister of him . He 's got to be a minister 'cause his grandmother left the money to send him to college and he ca n't have it unless he is a minister . She thought a minister was such a ` spectable thing to have in a family . Chester says he does n't mind much ... though he 'd rather be a blacksmith ... but he 's bound to have all the fun he can before he begins to be a minister , 'cause he does n't expect to have much afterwards . I ai n't going to be a minister . I 'm going to be a storekeeper , like Mr. Blair , and keep heaps of candy and bananas . But I 'd rather like going to your kind of a heaven if they 'd let me play a mouth organ instead of a harp . Do you s ` pose they would ? '' `` Yes , I think they would if you wanted it , '' was all Anne could trust herself to say . The A.V.I.S. met at Mr. Harmon Andrews ' that evening and a full attendance had been requested , since important business was to be discussed .
The A.V.I.S. was XXXXX a flourishing condition , and had already accomplished wonders .
