Wonders are accomplished daily by the principle of faith. It makes men better one to another, and from" childhood " to the grave it is a staff to lean upon.

All the same Mother Goose was a grand old lady , and so long as t there are children in the world her name will be an honored one, and people will .wonder end ask who was Mother Goose?
