Phylactery. New Testament Lesson #43 "A Chosen Generation" 1 and 2 Peter; Jude In the beloved children's book, A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett, the principal character, Sara Crewe, is the rich, pampered, only child of her adoring father, left at a boarding school when he goes abroad.
She is the favorite of the director, Miss Minchin, and receives special treatment, although she notices Miss Minchin does not treat all the children fairly. When news arrives that she is now orphaned and penniless, Miss Minchin takes away all her privileges, abuses her, and relegates to her the position of a slave. But Sara, whether she is rich and favored or destitute and despised, teaches the others, even the servant child, that every girl is a princess. "I am a princess," she says. She behaves as a princess herself--not a princess who expects to be waited upon, but a princess who knows she is of value, and who serves others with kindness. Our then-3-year-old daughter Camille wore this hot pink tiara every day for months. As Elder Boyd K. Book of Mormon - Lesson 9.
