The Meaning of Good Night

CHILDREN who are taught to say “A good night” to one another are likely to be better friends during the day. This practise is sometimes omitted, even in families where children are careful to say “good night” to their parents. It has been suggested that if children were taught the meaning of the phrase “Good night to you,” they would appreciate its value, and it would come more readily to their lips. “God” and “good” have the same root, and “Good night to you” is “God guard the night to you.”—Selected.
