Perhaps someone suggests calling it after the feast day of the church year observed by certain churches.  That should lead to discussion and investigation of the meaning of the day.

When all are agreed on a name, write it under its date on your wall calendar.  It will be a convenient suggestion for next year, unless the decision is for a different name when the day again comes round.  It will also call to mind some of the interesting discussions which it aroused.

After this we might call for The Family Book, which now contains, you will recall, the family’s decision as to the best Sunday and the happiest occurrences of the year before.  The keeper, appointed last week, must bring it out.  We can read what we wrote a week ago and decide on the things worth entering this week.  Records of birthdays, special happenings to each of the family, the bright sayings of little ones, and the visits of friends and relatives all should go in.

8. "I remember” stories.—­While The Family Book is open is the psychological moment for father and mother to tell stories of their childhood.  Every child likes to hear the story that begins, “I remember,” and feels a thrill of pride in belonging to something that goes back and has a history.  The old family album is a never-failing source of delight, not so much because of the pictures as because of what they suggest of family traditions.

Now is a good time to select some certain thing which shall be used only on this day, such as a festival lamp or candlestick, some festival plates or dishes—­just one thing or set of things toward the use of which we can look forward during the week.  This helps to make Sunday what we used to call “a treat.”

9. Golden deeds.—­Last week we started The Family Book in which to keep a record of all the happy experiences that belong to our family.  This week we begin another book.  In it we expect to place every week just one splendid story, the account of a golden deed, some piece of everyday kindness or heroism of which we have read or heard or which we have witnessed.  Everyone is to have a chance to contribute to this book, all the family deciding by vote each week as to which story should be placed on its pages.

Did you read in the paper this week of some brave or kindly deed done by a boy or a girl, a man or a woman?  Did you see someone do an act of kindness?  Cut out the account or write out the story and have it ready for your own Golden Deed Book.  Everyone must watch all the week for the right kind of stories.  It is wonderful how much good you will find in the world when you are looking for it.

Sunday afternoons all the family can hear each story and talk over its fine points of virtue and goodness.  Thus may be developed an appreciation of the human qualities that are really admirable.  We can discuss also the probability of certain of the stories and the righteousness of the deeds.
