A Good Example
A Welsh parson, in his sermon, told his congregation how kind and respectful we ought to be towards each other, and added, that in this respect we were greatly inferior to animals. To prove this, he mentioned as an example the circumstance of two goats, which met one another upon a narrow plank across a river, so that they could not pass by without one thrusting the other off, “Now, how do you think they did? Why, I’ll tell you. One lay down, and let the other leap over him. Ah, my beloved, let us live like goats.”
