This wise father is teaching his little son the simple story of Jesus. He explains each episode in the book and seeks to impress the lesson of each picture on the mind of the child.
The human mind is most receptive and most plastic during the early years of life. Much will be learned and much forgotten in later years, but the vivid impressions of childhood will live on.
Childhood is the time to develop the thought habits and give strength and direction to the character of a child. And there is no better medium for this training than the simple human stories of the Bible.
The parent who neglects such training and permits his child to grow up with wrong impressions about life and duty and faith, is taking a chance on the child's future and passing up one of the gravest responsibilities of parenthood.
Wise parents seek the guidance of God and the aid of the Church in rearing and training their children.
