Rules of the Memory Course 1. Memorize each assignment in the order given. 2. Memorize the assignment heading with each assignment. 3. Memorize the Bible references (the locations of the verses in the Bible) with each verse or group of verses. 4. Memorize the verses as they are printed. Do not add, change or leave out any words. 5. You are expected to memorize the assignment during the first part of the week and to use the rest of the week for review. If you wait until the end of the week to memorize, you will forget the verse too quickly, and this is not considered satisfactory work. 6. We suggest that you recite Saturday morning. If you cannot recite at this time, another time during the week may be agreed upon but you should recite at the same time each week throughout the memory course. 7. In reciting give the heading, reference, and then the verse or verses under the reference. Where verses come together, you may give one reference for all. 8. You must recite an entire assignment at one time, not just part of an assignment. 9. You are permitted to recite more than one assignment on the first recitation day, but after that, you may recite only one assignment a week, as you need to spend a full week on each assignment. 10. You should memorize well so that you do not need to be prompted in your recitation. It is a poor recitation if you have to be prompted more the four times. When this happens you should realize that you will need to spend more time learning your other assignments. 11. If you do not learn your assignments, your supervisor will 6 35
