I SAW YOU barely miss a little boy on a tricycle this afternoon and heard you yell, "Get the H out of the way! Don't you know any better than to ride in the street?" He didn't answer because he hasn't learned to talk very well yet. So I'm going to answer for him. No, the little boy doesn't know any better than to ride his tricycle in the street. He has been warned not to, but little boys don't always heed warnings. Some adults don't either, especially traffic warnings; for example, the one limiting the speed of automobiles. I'm going to tell you something about that little boy. He has a mother who endured considerable inconve nience, anxiety and suffering to bring him into the world. He has a father who has worked hard and made many sacrifices to make him healthy and happy. The supreme purpose of their lives is to have their little boy grow up to be a useful man. Now stop a minute and think. If you should kill a child, how would you feel facing its parents? What ex cuse could you possibly offer Him whose Kingdom is made up of little children? Children, my hasty friend, were here long before you or your automobile were thought of. All the auto mobiles on earth are not worth the life of one little boy. We don't know what that little boy may some day be. But we know what you are, and it's unimportant. We could get along without you, but we can't spare a single little boy on the street.
