  	Parents should teach their children at the	                         Children's
24	earliest possible period the truths of health	                         tractability 
  	and holiness. Children are more tractable than adults,
  	and learn more readily to love the simple verities that will
27	make them happy and good. 
  	    Jesus loved little children because of their freedom
  	from wrong and their receptiveness of right. While
30	age is halting between two opinions or battling with
  	false beliefs, youth makes easy and rapid strides towards
  	Truth.

  	planations, badly wounded her finger. She seemed not

  	ingenuously, "There is no sensation in matter." Bound-
  	ing off with laughing eyes, she presently added, "Mamma,
 6	my finger is not a bit sore."
