Cats "Books of the Bible" post reminded me that I learned them (Books of the Bible" in Gleaners... and :shock:

... we didn't have a song to learn them by - just plain old-fashioned memorization.

We had "bible drills" and so many other fun learning experiences. I even remember wearing the green capes and hats! :lol:

Go Gleaners!!

We sang it in Missouri - but I must have missed out on the green capes and hats?

Rub a dub dub - rub a dub dub - we've got the VLB's in a tub.
Wash 'em out - wring 'em out - hang them on the line.
Gleaners can beat the VLB's any old time!

What are these dated code words that you speak in?

Deep and wide, deep and wide, there's a fountain flowing deep and wide...I'm in the Lord's Army, I'm in the Lord's Army.

Just a couple I remember.

"If we all pull together, together, together...
If we all pull together, how happy we'll be.
For your work is my work and our work is God's work.
If we all pull together, how happy we'll be."

And of course:
"He's still working on me, to make me what I ought to be..."

Gleaners were the 12 and under. Last time I went to my Mom's, I was going thru drawers and looking for any of my old stuff that was still there and found my VLB tshirt.

Rahab, would you believe I still have my VLB Bible AND reversible Vest!?! :lol:

Both bought at the old WWPH on Central Avenue during the Assembly of 1967.

I loved my VLB Bible. I had the 80's edition (it was the smaller sized burgundy edition that was released after the red edition). I used that thing until it fell apart. Soulsearcher - your memory is much better than mine as I don't remember the year I received it - but my grandmother bought it for me at State Convention one year.
