nor acknowledged. The heart of the child, sym- 
pathetically trained, is quick to respond to the 
many miracles of life that 
“Come forth into the light of things, 
Come forth and bring with them a heart 
That watches and receives.” 
Nature with her world of ready riches is an 
ever willing help in directing these early impres- 
sions. She takes nothing but good into the heart, 
and nothing that is good from it. 
All nature is sacred and beautiful. The child 
that lives in accord with nature lives near to. 
nature’s God. All that is consecrated and beauti- 
ful appeals to him and his early life is made the 
happy forestep to the world and work before him. 
God is still creating the earth and the heavens. 
Let man observe and learn to know and enjoy His 
created things, and teach the children to know 
and enjoy them, for so shall they live and learn 
“To look on nature, not as in the hour 
Of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes 
The still, sad music of humanity.”
