CHAPTER III THE CHILDREN'S HOME CHAPTER XI REVERENCE FOR PARENTS CHAPTER XIII THE CRY OF THE CHILDREN CHAPTER XIV MINISTERING CHILDREN CHAPTER XV THE CHILDREN'S KING “The good man is he who does not lose his child-heart.”—Mencius, 371-288 B.C. “What the leaves are to the forest, With light and air for food, Ere their sweet and tender juices Have been hardened into wood. That to the world are children; Through them it feels the glow Of a brighter and sunnier climate That reaches the trunks below. Come to me, O ye children! And whisper in my ear What the birds and the winds are singing In your sunny atmosphere. Ye are better than all the ballads That ever were sung or said; For ye are living poems, And all the rest are dead.” Longfellow. CHILDREN OF CHINA BY WITH EIGHT COLOURED ILLUSTRATIONS OLIPHANTS LTD.
