Little Breeches (1914)
Gabriel Hall is telling the village parson why it is that he believes in God and the angels, so ably poetized by the late John G. Hay in one of his earlier poems. Gabriel comes to town with a load of turnips, bringing his little boy, Gabe, with him. Going into a store to make a purchase he leaves little Gabe in charge of the horses. The horses run away with him over the snow-covered prairie. Hall goes in search of the boy and finds at first only the overturned wagon in a snow drift. Despairing of human aid he kneels in the snow in prayer and shortly thereafter finds the little boy in a sheepfold, where he is nestled among the sheep. This is the reason, why in bidding the parson goodnight, he emphasizes his belief in the efficacy of prayer with the verse: "And I think that savin' a little child / And bringin' His to His own / Is a whole lot better business / Than singin' around the throne."
