Religion, Innocence, and the Pleasures of Children

By Horace Greeley

“I LOVE God and little children,” says a German poet. The good are ever attracted and made happier by the presence of the innocent and lovely. And he who finds his religion adverse to, or a restraint upon, the truly innocent pleasures and gayeties of life, so that the latter do not interfere with, and jar upon, its sublimer objects—may well doubt whether he has indeed “learned of Christ.”—Horace Greeley.
