(a story from A.T. Schofield from Old Scrapbook)
"You have been called unto liberty." Galatians 5:13
Some time ago I was the possessor of a beautiful collie called "Jock." When he first came, he was wild in spirit and would dash away. I would never have seen him again had I not put him under law by the purchase of a strong collar and chain.
Jock soon got to know me, and after he had been with me for some weeks, I went to take him out. He put up his head as usual for the collar and chain, but I said, "No, Jock, no more chain."
I opened the door, and for the first time, he bounded out free. He dashed away as if I should never see him again. But just then another law, of which he was unaware, came into operation. He came trotting back to walk with me, held by a chain stronger than any made of steel.
For the law of liberty is the law of love.
