Tonight, we’ll read the seventh chapter to “Anne of Green Gables” the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “Anne Says Her Prayers”.

In the last episode, Marilla Cuthbert, the stern and pragmatic woman was at first dismayed to find that not only have been given a girl instead of a boy orphan, but that this girl is the particularly imaginative and talkative Anne Shirley.

Initially hesitant about keeping Anne due to her unconventional and spirited nature, Marilla has been monitoring Anne's behavior closely. She witnesses Anne's passionate enthusiasm for learning and her ability to charm others in the community.

The chapter ends with Marilla making a significant decision: she decides to keep Anne at Green Gables and give her a chance to prove herself. This marks a turning point in the story, as Marilla's change of heart opens the door to a new chapter in Anne's life.
