Although we don't agree with all the Chick tracts, we handed out "Charlie's Ants" to all our door step visitors. This tract is a good gospel presentation for young children.

Nothing new to this, my mother did that decades ago (and she was a big fan of the American Tract Society), so while this article is like closing the barn door after the horses are out, it does give those Christians who pass out candy on Halloween, something more to give,
