soft little bodies torn by poison and see 
them fall lifeless to the ground, killed 
by Ilis hand. “No,” you say, “it is 
impossible. He would not do such a 
thing.” Yet we are supposed to be fol¬ 
lowing in His steps, and calmly do that 
which would make the tears start to His 
eyes, and make His tender, warm heart 
ache. 
We were created by the same hand 
which created the sparrows, so spare 
them for His sake.
