CHAPTER III
39/53

If some men are not so blessed as others, it is their own fault, and not Yours.

You made the earth, and all that is therein, and You made the men.

Of course You had to make men different, so each woman can tell which one belongs to her; but I believe it would have been a good idea while You were at it, if You would have made all of them enough alike that they would all work.
Perhaps it isn't polite of me to ask more of You than You saw fit to do; and then, again, it may be that there are some things impossible, even to You.

If there is anything at all, seems as if making Isaac Thomas work would be it.

Father says that man would rather starve and see his wife and children hungry than to take off his coat, roll up his sleeves, and plow corn; so it was good enough for him when Leon said, 'Go to the ant, thou sluggard,' right at him.
