The Return to Simple Faith

By N. Y. Observer

After all has been learned, the old man is a boy again, and turns to songs and prayers that he heard when the nursery was his divinity school, and the mother the senior professor. Out of that seminary he may go to groves of philosophy and halls of ethical culture, sit at the feet of wise men, and become himself an interpreter of thought, a founder of schools and sects, and fill the world with records of his inner life and his experience in learning how to live. But at last he must come back to the simple faith that his first teacher taught him. The little child gets the kingdom.—N. Y. Observer.
