A Sunday school superintendent in
talking to his pupils about cruelty to
animals said: only a coward would
abuse a creature that has no way Of
protecting itself. Why, children,
once knew little boy who cut off a
calf's tail! Think of it-took n knife
and cut the tail right off! Can any
one tell me a verse in the Bible that
would have taught this cruel boy that
he should not have cut off the calf's
tail?"
After a moments silence q small
boy held up his hand and when asked
to quote his verse ventured, "What
God hath Joined together let no man
put asunder."
