Here we are all good friends."ĭid you ever see grass growing high as a tree - a tall tree? Bamboo is this kind of grass. Crossett patted him affectionately on the head and said: Crossett's desk and in a trembing voice said: The boy who had made faces, however, went up to Mr.
One by one the students got up from their seats and left the room quietly. I want to be proud of you."Īt the moment the bell rang announcing the end of the class. I want you to show me with your hearts that here we are all part of onw big family. I do not want you simply to promise me with words that you will be good. You should study hard and be good students. "My friends, we have to spend this year together and we must try to spend it together happily. After a while he put down his book, looked at the students in silence for several minutes, then said:
Then he went back to his desk and went on with the lesson. "Don't do that again," he said quietly but firmly. Crossett turned rapidly and glared at the student. While his back was turned another student in the class got up from his seat, and began to make faces just to make the other students laugh. He walked to the student's desk and put his hand on the child's forehead. Crossett noticed that one of the students looked sick and feverish. On the way home my father told me of an incident that took place on his first day at school in Mr. My father read the exercise and tears came to his eyes. Crossett thus kept a record of all his old students. It was one of my father's own copybook exercises! Mr. It was marked with my father's name and with the month and the year. Out of the package he drew a paper and gave it to my father. He went to a closet and after a moment brought out package, marked with name and date. Otherwise he would still be working, because his heart and soul were still in the schoolroom with his students. The old man's hands shook constantly, and he explained to my father how this shaking had begun two years before, and how he had been forced to give up his teaching because of this. Crossett talked for about half an hour of things and persons they remembered in the school. "Exactly," said my father, shaking the old man's hand. "Albert Borden? Your father was an engineer, and you live very near the school." The old man dropped his head and began to murmur my father's name. My father told him his name - Albert Borden, the year in which he had studied, and the name of the school. "Mr.Crossett,"said my father, "will you permit an old pupil to shake hands with you?" When he came to the door, my father recognized him at once though, of course, he was now a very old man. Everyone in the town knew him so we had no trouble in finding his house. The next afternoon my father and I drove over to Deleville to see Mr. Let's drive over there and say hello to him." He lives in Deleville, which is only about an hour's ride from here. Sixty years!

#RADIUM CALM RADIO PLUS#
On the plus side, CalmRadio itself works most of the time on my ipad. If you used to be christian, but like me have found a more sensible path to walk… don’t subscribe to calm radio… it will only annoy you. So at the end of the day i am neither relaxed nor inspired by this cookie cutter music. Other times i am actively listening and cant help but recognize the song, which then gets my mind occupied on all the many reasons i gave up the faith. If i listen half heartedly, next thing i know i find myself singing along the praises to the lord without even realizing it. Speaking as a person who used to be a devout christian and now is a firm atheist… i find this music unacceptable and rather offensive. I bought a years subscription with the desire to relax to music NOT so i could worship Jesus. Im SO disappointed that there seems to be an excess of christian instrumental songs played across many, many channels which do not identify themselves as christian.
