An answer which never hear without
an indignant mental protest. admon-
ish you, father, mother, guardian, into
whose hands God has committed tho sa-
cred trust of child's life, be careful how
you betray it! Beware how you hinder
souls development by a selfish seeking
Of your own convenience!
Absolute reliance on the love of the
parents, faith in their wisdom that for
bids doubt, are indispensable conditions
Of a healthy and happy development.
They constitute fertile soil and genial
atmosphere in which all beautiful human
affections bud and blossom. "Father
does what is right" "Mother knows bet
ter than l." are the instructive utterance
of child whose life and education have
been rightly begun. That these utter
ances are not Oftener heard is severe
commentary upon our methods, a sad in
dication how much the rights of children
have been neglected.
The child has right to ask questions
and to be fairly answered; not to be
snubbed as if he were guilty of an i'm
pertinence, nor ignored az though his
desire For Information were of no conse-
quence, nor misled as if 1t did not signify
whether true or false impressions we're
made upon his mind. He has right to
be taught everything which he desires to
learn, and to be made certain, when any
asked for information is withheld, that 1t
is only deferred till he is older and bet
ter prepared to receive it. Answering q
child's questions ia sowing the seeds of
its future character. The slight impress
sion of to-day may become rule of life
twenty years hence. A youth III cross
ing the fields dropped cherry stones from
his mouth, and in old age retraced his
steps by the trees laden with luscious
fruit. But many parent whose heart is
lacerated by child's ingratitude might
say:
1.-THE thorns I bleed withal are Of the tree
planted"
To answer rightly child's questions
would give scope for the wisdom of all
the ancients and to illustrate needed pre-
cepts by example would require the ex-
ercise Of every Christian virtue.
