"Christ took little children in His arms and descended to
the level of the young. His large heart of love could comprehend
their trials and necessities, and He enjoyed their happiness. His
spirit, wearied with the bustle and confusion of the crowded city,
tired of association with crafty and hypocritical men, found rest
and peace in the society of innocent children."
"God wants children to be lovely, not with artificial adornment,
but with beauty of character, the charms of kindness and affection,
which will make their hearts bound with joy and happiness."
