Lessons and General Questions for the Groups.

A Word to Leaders.

Leaders of Groups have the whole range of modern as well as ancient literature from which to cull the brief Lessons for the members. All poetical and prose works are filled with appropriate and complete verses, sentiments, proverbs, and pleasing embodiments of useful truths. All philosophers have written important short sentences conveying great principles in few words. An intelligent and affectionate Leader—one who loves children and takes interest in their unfoldings—will never lack for a topic of conversation. Order and system in a Leader are of the first importance to true progress. Perhaps it should be mentioned that, as a rule, verse is remembered when prose is forgotten.

∵The Lessons of the Primary Groups may be incorporated into the teachings of the more advanced, as it is all understood that the greater includes the less.
