From the Preface: The following readings have been selected with the hope that they will be useful to those who have recently been given a child by the Lord. They are divided so that they can be read by the parents as daily readings if they wish. We rejoice with you in that by this birth heaven is enriched and society furnished with yet another helper (CL 404). “Lo children are a heritage of the Lord; and the fruit of the womb is His reward” (Psalm 127:3) (KJV).
