Common terms and phrases

Popular passages

Page ix - If you speak of a stone," says St. Basil, one of the Fathers of the Church, " if you speak of a fly, a gnat, or a bee, your conversation will be a sort of demonstration of His power whose hand formed them ; for the wisdom of the workman is commonly perceived in that which is of little size. He who has stretched out the heavens, and dug up the bottom of the sea, is also He who has pierced a passage through the sting of the bee for the ejection of its poison.
Page ix - Children should not be long confined within doors, nor should they be required to apply themselves closely to study until a good foundation has been laid for physical development. For the first eight or ten years of a child's life the field or garden is the best schoolroom, the mother the best teacher, nature the best lesson-book.
Page 149 - BURROW A hole or tunnel dug in the ground by an animal for habitation or refuge.
Page 156 - Christ — the second person of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; Jesus is the Savior of the world.
Page ix - Take them out into the open air, under the noble trees, into the garden; and in all the wonderful works of creation teach them to see an expression of His love.
