The Society of Children
Luke 1:7
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.


We are all brought nearer to Christ through childhood. Dr. Arnold used to say that no one could continue long in a healthy religious state unless his heart was kept tender by mingling with children, or by frequent intercourse with the poor and the suffering.
