Excerpt from Gertrude's Diary: And the Cube We are to write in it every day, and are to put the golden texts at the beginning of each month, as measures for us to measure our days by. Mr. Neale told us that. We think it is a real queer idea; and Prissy says she guesses there will be some funny measuring, but we like to do it, after all. We like everything that Mr. Neale says. He is our minister, and he is nice and pleasant. We don't think of being afraid of him, though the first Sunday he had our class we all thought we should faint. He has it often now - once a month. Miss Archer, our teacher, goes home once a month and stays over Sunday, and Mr. Neale takes her place. He doesn't think it is nice for a teacher to go away once a month and leave her class, but we girls do we wish she would go home every Sunday, and leave us to Mr. Neale.
