Elisabeth Elliot Quote
Amy rang the bell when morning to gather the servants for prayers. The cook's small boy, pointing to the bell, said, It's a god.'I looked at the thing, it had a scratched face on the handle, and the face, he declared, was Ram's. I think the young scamp meant nothing more serious than a bit of mischief, but I knocked the bell handle off and pushed it into a fire which was burning near. He could never say again! They all looked on, servants and coolies, and nobody said a word. Would a let me do that? I asked them, and walked off, caring the battery bell.
