Calvinist Flyswatter

His eye is on the sparrow

SPURGEON BIRTHDAY BOOK
for September 3

A swallow having built its nest upon the tent of Charles V, the emperor generously commanded that the tent should not be taken down when the camp removed, but should remain until the young birds were ready to fly.

Was there such gentleness in the heart of a soldier towards a poor bird which was not of his making, and shall the Lord deal hardly with His creatures when in a child-like manner they put their trust in Him!

[From the original Spurgeon Birthday Book published by Passmore & Alabaster, London.]
