When Children Ask Questions. Try your utmost to be patient with children at all times. They will try your nerves, to be sure, but you must remem* ber that some children have naturally inquiring minds, and it is the natural result of its activity that they question you. If you will use care in answering them and explain everything as simply and thoroughly as possible, you will be well rewarded, tor by this means the mind will develop naturally and its education can be carried on without harmful strain or effort. If elders would only reason and consider what a sweet, frail, helpless, innocent thing a child is, many would perhaps be more willing to extend helpfulness at a cost of personal sacrifice, and certainly the child's life would be brighter and happier.
