Our Little Friend for Children
By Editor
To the Fathers and Mothers and Teachers and Lovers of the Children: It is not the one spasmodic influence which molds the child; it is not the ephemeral, temporary, irregularly occasional things which shape his character; it is the constant, steady influence day after day, week after week, year after year. He has an individuality. Do not crush it; train it aright. Very early he begins to notice pictures, and wants to hear stories. He should have both, and both should be helpful. There is nothing beyond godly parents which will help more in mind development, in character-building, than a good child's paper, coming to him week by week, year in and year out—his paper, her paper. Our Little Friend is a paper for the children. It is not only safe, but helpful. It has been a blessing to thousands of children every year of its existence, and many who read it when little ones read it still. There is no better paper for the children. Gladden your own child's heart, or the heart of some neglected child or children, by subscribing now for the year to come, and get the beautiful double holiday number. It is only 60 cents a year. Make the child glad fifty-two times in 1912. Do it now. Address, Our Little Friend, Mountain View, California.
