For nineteen centuries, the Church has lingered lovingly over Christ’s tribute to the child: ' Suffer little children to corne unto me and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. The implications of that tribute should be recognized by ail who hâve care of the child. Theirs is the great vocation to show him that he is a citizen, not only of this WORLD, but of that OTHER WORLD which lies beyond with God whose kingdom is the kingdom of children.
