God Has Created Me To Do Him Some Definite Service; He Has Committed Some Work To Me Which He Has Not Committed To Another.

He Has Not Created Me For Naught. I Shall Do Good, I Shall Do His Work; I Shall Be An Angel Of Peace, A Preacher Of Truth In My Own Place, While Not Intending It, If I Do But Keep His Commandments And Serve Him In My Calling.

Now What Is It That Moves Our Very Hearts And Sickens Us So Much At Cruelty Shown To Poor Brutes?.. They Have Done Us No Harm And They Have No Power Of Resistance... There Is Something So Very Dreadful, So Satanic, In Tormenting Those Who Have Never Harmed Us, Who Cannot Defend Themselves, Who Are Utterly In Our Power.
