The Memory of a Child.

How many of us ever stop to
consider that a child forms
lasting Impressions from the
little things of life. and its as
sociations with its elders!
How many of us pause TO re.
fleet that the infantile brain is
constantly reaching out for
that knowledge which is to
make or mar its future?
What are we doing TO encour-
age right thinking i'll the minds
of the little ones in our own
midst, who in time will shape
the destiny of our community
How many of us, absorbed in
woightier things. are even
prone TO ignore the presence of
the manly little fellow who
gives us CHEEKY greeting on
the street, and whose sunny
countenance is at once clouded
by our seeming Indifference
and neglect:
Trivial things are impressed
upon the minds of the young
Incidents are burned SO indeli-
bly, into their memory that Of
ten time itself can never efface
them.
One such comes into oar
mind as we write these lines
