12:24
`` The eyes of the Lord are in every place , beholding the evil and the good '' -LRB- Prov . 15:3 -RRB- . `` Consider the ravens : for they neither sow nor reap ; which neither have storehouse nor barn ; and God feedeth them : how much more are ye better than the fowls ? '' -LRB- Luke 12:24 -RRB- . Few save the poor feel for the poor : The rich know not how hard It is to be of needful rest And needful food debarred ; They know not of the scanty meal , With small , pale faces round ; No fire upon the cold , damp hearth When snow is on the ground . -- Miss Landon . Mrs. Engler had long since given the care and feeding of the children over into the hands of inexperienced women , who might have utterly ruined the delicate digestive organs had it not been that the food allowed was wholesome and the quantities too small for them to overfeed .
