And Fritz's voice asked gently--

"What does that mean?"

Answer--"I believe that God has created me and all creatures; has given

me body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my limbs, reason, and all my

senses, and still preserves them to me; and that he has also given me my

clothes and my shoes, and whatsoever I eat or drink; that richly and

daily he provides me with all needful nourishment for body and life, and

guards me from all danger and evil; and all this out of pure fatherly

divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or deserving of mine. And

for all this I am bound to thank and praise him, and also to serve and

obey him. This is certainly true."
