Gather together, you great and good
ly company, who are interested in the
grandchild in your own house, and let
us help each better to an understanding
of the meaning and the r'chncss of t liis
relation. We will not begin with the
18 creation or the deluge nor u.iilertake
to give a history of grandfathers and
grandchildren since the day of Enoch;
nor will we go into the philosophy nf
the parental love, that is the key to
>f the whole matter. We know I hat we
love our children, first oi all, from a
certain instinct, because they me ours;
and tie know that while wilh the low
ly er am.ll il* tTris love cea-es with the de
pendence of the young animal upon the
parent tor aliment, with the hiiiuuti be
> mg the love deepens as the relation ot
parent and child ripened and strength
ened by growing sympathy ami mutual
service. Now this ye affection that
,r we have lur our own children does nut
rest lit them alone, a* they grow iv
years and knowledge anil rise into
l " 5011 th anil maturity. We *lill yearn
for a little child lo love, and there is a
' void in Ihe house Where there is,none.
