mHE Spencers in our town have adopted a
III baby girl.
And everybody is talking about how won
derful they are, about their nobility, their
charity and kindness; about what splendid
thing it is going to be for the child, and how
they should be complimented for having opened
their home to little derelict. But the Spenc-
ers should be complimented for no such thing.
Commend them indeed, for their foresight and
sagacity; congratulate them, if you must, upon
their selfshness.
For the Spencers will get as much from the
baby as the baby will get from the Spencers.
Grown-ups always do. We love to think that
we work and give up for our children and get
nothing much in return, but this is not true.
Children always give us more lovely things
than we can ever give to them.
Can you imagine the world without chill
dren? Can you fancy what we should become
if they were all spirited out of existence Can It
you see us growing hard and cold and cynical !;
bitter, mean and selfish; grasping, cruel,
vicious9
For you know and know that little chill
dren-our own or other people 's-help to keep
us sane and good and young. 1t is the little
people Of the earth who preserve our faith
alive and keep our negotiations working, and
our humanity from being submerged Because
of them we believe in fairy tales, in innocent
pleasures, in the ultimate good. They are the
leaven which sweetens for us all the bread of
existence. Without their purity, their spright-
illness, their dreams, the world would be a
sorry place. They are the reasons, although we
may know it not, why we keep on with our
striving and hoping and dreaming why we
work to make the life better, why we still be-
lieve in Heaven
There must be Heaven somewhere. if
only for the children. We may think we are
learned and complete unto ourselves, but in
this we are deceived. The Spencers and their
baby will soon find out. Life for them will take
on new irridescence The drabness of their
days will be lightened by great radiance
Their spirits will abound with new life; their
hearts will become young again; their minds
will be rejuvenated their souls will be reborn.
And this miracle will take place because of a
small derelict baby.
What can the Spencers ever give to this
baby that will equal in worth what she is be-
slowing on themg
