It is Jesus." I immediately understood and accepted that. The substance/accident distinction was presented in a way that an 8 year old mind could understand. - Jim J.

Also, in a more adult context but applicable to the interaction between parent and child: "It is only after frequent and informal discussion directly on the topic, within the setting of our common life, that the Idea springs up in the soul like a light kindled from a spark of fire, which then continues burning of its own accord."
