A pretty anecdote is related of a child who was greatly perturbed by the discovery that her brothers had set traps to catch birds. Questioned as to what she had done in the matter, she replied: “I prayed that the traps might not catch the birds.” “Anything else?* “Yes,’ she said. “I then prayed that God would prevent the birds getting into the traps, and.” as if to illustrate the doctrine of faith and works, “I went and kicked the traps all to pieces.”
