ever listen to quite such wonderful secrets, as if they 
had begun to look and to listen when they were little 
children.

putting by your lesson books for many weeks, to learn 
one lesson this holiday time, —to /earn to see, —I am 
asking you to do something that will make your lives 
far happier than they could be were this lesson left 
unlearned.
