"Jesus said, Suffer [permit] little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."- Matthew 19:14
Those who desire to be part of the kingdom must be as loving, trusting, teachable, and obedient as little children who love, trust, and obey their parents. Jesus had time for the children, notwithstanding the weight of work which was upon him and the fact that his earthly life was nearly finished. 2 Peter 4:1

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 7:1)
HOW many of the prospective members of the Royal Priesthood find that they have defilements along this line, malice, guile, hypocrisy, envy, evil speaking! It is safe to say that every one has some, if not all, of these weaknesses in the flesh to contend with--especially at the beginning of his entrance upon the priestly vocation. How carefully all should seek to put all these away! How each should scrutinize not only every act of life and every word and every thought, but, additionally, every motive underlying his words, thoughts and actions, so that they may be more and more purified from the earth defilements and be more and more acceptable to the Lord!
