Happiness is an essential atmos- phere for the upbringing of a child. just as sunshine for the rearing of a plant, and happiness is to a larg: ex- tent dependent in childhood upon im- agination. It is true that the mast yivid fancies seem to spring up unhid- den, but it is also true that it is. posâ€" sible in a large degree to influence the kind of imagination.

Under this head come the imaginary child-friend of whose existence the grown-up people are un- aware until the real child is overheard talking to it and calling it by name. and the marvelous religious concep- tions which children not infrequently create for themselves. A very little girl was missing one summer etching, and a search had to be instituted through the garden and grounds be- fore sue was discovered some way. from the house, entirely alone and evidently extremely happy. On being asked what she had been doing. there was no trace of alarm, at having strayed away or for fear of being scolded for her escapade; she Slmyl? looked up and said: “Oh, mamma. 1’ have had such a. bootiful walk wiv God i” Very wisely her mother said' nothing, but just gathered her up in: her arms and kissed her as she car- ried her homeward, Now, what has that child imagined? Who can say? It is almost sacred ground, and one fears to tread. The thought occurs that we older folk have doubtless set up a screen between ourselves and the unseen worldâ€"a thick covering of earthly thoughts and interests and desiresâ€"such as does not exist with those little ones whose angels do :zl- _ ways behold the face of the Father which is in heaven. A moment's thought will convince us of the early age at which we be- gan “to imagine," or, if we have for- gotten, a brief study of any young- ster will quickly recall it. By far the greater number of people have by the aid of imagination clothed cerâ€" tain abstract ideas in definite, con- crete forms, and have done this when so young that it is impossible for them to remember the time when these things first took shape. Probably insufficient attention is paid to this subject, especially with children, in whom imagination is rapidly developed, and in whose life it plays a large part. way to which have no real cause. Im- agination may be of immense assist- ance in adding to the beauty and 'un- selfishness of life, but when unre. strained it may serve to distract these very qualities. Like many other gifts, imagination is a good servant and a bad master. A person with little or no imagina- tion has little understanding and no sympathy. On the other hand, a person whose imagination has passed beyond control leads a miserable exist- ence. Facts and probabilities give wa'y to fancies and remote possibili- ties.
