A little boy in Miss Harrison's kindergarten heard the story of thelegend of the Christ Child, told just prior to his going to Europe fora three months trip with his father and mother. While there his mothertook him one day with her to see a collection of art photographs. Helooked at them quietly and thoughtfully for a time, and then picking upa copy of the above picture he said, "Mamma, you told me I might takea present home to Miss Harrison, and I would like to take her thispicture, because it looks just as I think the little Christ Child thatshe read us about must have looked."

So beautiful was the thought embodied in the story that it left thesame impression upon the mind of the child that the great artistMurillo had left upon canvas. This is but one instance that greatthoughts do make impressions upon the mind of the child.
