• John Wesley tells of a dream he had. In the dream, he was ushered to the gates of Hell. There he asked, "Are there any Presbyterians here?" "Yes!", came the answer. Then he asked, "Are there any Baptists? Any Episcopalians? Any Methodists?" The answer was Yes! each time. Much distressed, Wesley was then ushered to the gates of Heaven. There he asked the same question, and the answer was No! "No?" To this, Wesley asked, "Who then is inside?" The answer came back, "There are only Christians here."

• A dog starv'd at the master's gate
  Predicts the ruin of the State.
  A horse misus'd upon the road
  Calls to heaven for human blood.
  Each outcry of the hunted hare
  A fibre from the brain does tear,
  A skylark wounded on the wing,
  A cherubim does cease to sing.

THANKS FOR THAT. VERY HELPFUL RIGHT NOW.
