Bribery vs. Reward

Two weeks ago Peter decided he needed a way to get his deacons to be more active in reading their scriptures and reading the lesson materials.
So he made cinnamon rolls as an incentive.
It is bribery to stop bad behavior but reward for good behavior- right?
 It is his class rule that the boys need to bring their paper scriptures to class.
This week he had sent out reminders as to what the lesson would be about and what talk to read beforehand.  
The boys could earn a whole cinnamon roll if they had their scriptures and had read the lesson or half if they had only done one or the other and none for doing neither. 

The cinnamon rolls were soooo good. We all loved them and each of his boys earned at least half a roll.
