The Story of Speckle

This is a copy of a children's gospel tract which I found taped in my scrapbook from my early childhood in the 1940's. When I recently came across it, I did not really even remember it, but I was so delighted to think that my signature story I like to tell as the Chicken Lady is very similar. In my story of Henny, the hen covers her chicks with her wings to save them in a barn fire. In the story of Speckle, the hen is burned in a grass fire. Both illustrate the beautiful truth that Jesus gave His life to save us from eternal destruction. I love that!

I have made copies of this tract to pass out to my friends. I like to point out to them that you can tell it is an old publication by the mailing adress at the bottom--"Chicago 7." My young friends, who have always known zipcodes, have no clue what I mean by that. Do you? :)

By the way, I have found several other children's tracts which my mother placed in my scrapbook for me. One is a story about a mother doe and her fawn named Bambi.
