" When Christ said, concerning little children, that ‘of such is the kingdom of heaven,’ (Matt. xix. 14,) it appeared to me; that his comparison had respect, not to the age or size of little children, but to the humility and docility which distinguish them from adults. This seemed to be put beyond a doubt, by his own explanation, in a similar passage, in which he says, ‘Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.’ (Matt. xviii. 3.)
