112 THE horse's rescue. 



pointing on a straiglit line, providing tliej have had 

 their libertv to exercise and wear off their feet as fast 

 as they grew, and been trimmed and cared for. They 

 stand the perfect natural horses, as their creator made 

 and intended them to be. Now we will look at them 

 and see man's improvements, trying to make horses 

 over, or, in other words, excel 1 the creator. 



I had looked at this Pair of hors*^s almost dailv for 

 over a j'ear, passing and repassing. They are fitting

 to say anything to them; neither it will it do to point 

 out any defect in them, or tell them how to improve 

 their movement ; it would set them bawlinsr. Read- 

 ers, let me tell you their suffering condition, then you 

 can step out and see thousands all around you ; and, 

 travel where you will, you cannot miss seeing them 

 if you have eyes and use them. I will try to describe 

 the suffering condition these horses ai'e thrown in. 

 The causes are many, and hard to describe. As this 

 work is tracing cause to effect and effect to cause, we 

 will begin at the first cause. That is, the fallible be- 

 ing, man, is ignorant of natural laws and the suffering 

 produced by abusing them. These laws are the crea- 

 tor, and I recognize no other. The horse is the inno- 

 cent and helpless sufferer, and is part of the creator's 

 works. Through ignorance he has been made a great 

 sufferer — the greatest of all the creator's works; and I 

 send this work on its mission for the purpose of res- 

 cuing them from their deplorable condition : and I ap- 

 peal to the supreme court of heaven to back me up. 

 Man's courts would be of but little use to me; no jus- 

 tice can be had in them. Let us return to this pair
