“On the first Sabbath the children were organized into departments and classes, and the teachers began their work. At the beginning there were six children in the primary department and about fifteen in the kindergarten. As soon as the children living in the neighborhood learned of the meetings being held for them, they began to attend, and each day found many new ones added to the classes. The average daily attendance from the outside was between eighty and one hundred, and on Sundays there was a larger number present. Most of the children were very regular in their attendance. The same spirit of earnestness, attention, and order that characterized the services among the older ones marked the children’s meetings. Both in the classwork and in the general review exercises the work was so arranged that the children had a part in doing as well as listening, and in this way they soon felt at home, and their eagerness to bear some part in the work testified to their interest. {6T 106.3}

"På den første sabbat blev børnene organiserede i afdelinger og klasser og lærerne begyndte deres arbejde. I begyndelsen var der seks børn i hovedafdelingen og omkring femten i børnehaven. Så snart børnene i nabolaget hørte om møderne, der blev holdt for dem, begyndte de at deltage og hver dag kunne man finde mange nye i klasserne. Gennemsnitligt var der dagligt mellem firs og hundrede udefrakommende og om søndagene var der et større antal tilstede. De fleste af børnene kom regelmæssigt. Den samme alvor, opmærksomhed og orden, som karakteriserede gudstjenesterne blandt de ældre, prægede børnemøderne. Både i klassearbejde og i de almindelige repetitionsøvelser, blev arbejdet arrangeret sådan at børnene havde del i det praktiske, såvel som i at lytte og på den måde følte de sig hurtigt hjemme og deres iver i at være en del af arbejdet, vidnede om deres interesse.
