Up in Hamilton, Ontario, the
workmen were trimming some trees. On a low hanging limb which was to be cut
off, they found a bird's nest with young birds in it. The workmen were
troubled. Some of them insisted that the limb must come down, while others
pleaded that it be left until their next trip when the birds probably would
be gone. After some discussion, the limb was left. Some months later when the
tree trimmers came again and cut off the limb, and the nest was torn up, they
noticed a little piece of paper, which had been woven into the nest. They
examined it and found it had been taken from a Sunday school paper. On it
were these words, "We trust in the Lord!" You see they just could
not destroy this little home under conditions like this. – This incident was
sent to me by Rev. Leo Davis

Said the
Robin to the Sparrow,

"I
should surely like to know,
|
|
Why these
anxious human beings
|
|
Rush about
and worry so?"
|
|
Said the
Sparrow to the Robin,
|
|
"Friend,
I think that it must be,
|
|
That they
have no heavenly Father,
|
|
Such as
cares for you and me."
