them. Wouldn't he be more in
tcreStcd in insect life if he knew
the life history Of the butterfly
or of the ant with its almost hu-
man arrangement of home and
work? Wouldn't he find moro
satisfaction in the fields if he
knew that there were weeds that
ate bugs and some that lived on
other plants, like selfish folks:
And wouldn't you like to have
him so form the habit of telling
you things that he goes on tell
ing them. even after he passes
out of childhood? Wouldn't YOU
like to be the one he ALWAYS
comes back to for understanding
and intelligent enlargement of his
small ideas?
And isn't 1t IN this deep abid-
ing faith in Mother and Father,
and IN the intimate comradeship
with the outside world, that the
faith in the Infinite is born? Per-
hapS. in childhood, the connec-
ton between the Creator of the
Universe and white-fringed,
golden-hcarted daisy may not be
overly clear, but if the connection
is made at all, if the child sees
the manifestation of the Divine
in all the forces Of nature, it will
not be such a far cry to discov-
erins such manifestations in his
own soul. Then, as you help him
to weave his daily experiences
into a happy whole at the days
end, SO may his larger expert
ences fashion themselves into a
life pattern that he will not be
ashamed to show to himself or
his Creator at the twelfth
hour" of life.

Miss Florence Kneisel, Red

inquiries regarding the boy

event that these arc not
conducive to the best OF
