CHAPTER II
22/35

For when anybody's well off, they don't much mind about hearing news from distant parts; but if a poor man or woman's in trouble and has hard work to make out a living, they like to have a letter to tell 'em they've got a friend as will help 'em.

To be sure, we can't help knowing something about God, even if we've never heard the Gospel, the good news that our Saviour brought us.

For we know everything comes from God: don't you say almost every day, 'This and that will happen, please God,' and 'We shall begin to cut the grass soon, please God to send us a little more sunshine'?
We know very well we are altogether in the hands of God.

We didn't bring ourselves into the world, we can't keep ourselves alive while we're sleeping; the daylight, and the wind, and the corn, and the cows to give us milk--everything we have comes from God.

And he gave us our souls and put love between parents and children, and husband and wife.
