Martin Luther’s Little Robin

MARTIN LUTHER, in his autobiography, says: “I have one preacher that I love better than any other on earth: it is my little tame robin, which preaches daily. I put his crumbs upon my window-sill, especially at night. He hops onto the sill when he wants his supply, and takes as much as he desires to satisfy his needs. From thence he always hops to a little tree close by and lifts up his voice to God and sings his carol of praise and gratitude, tucks his little head under his wing, and goes fast to sleep, and leaves to-morrow to look after itself. He is the best preacher I have on earth.”
