Hay in one of his earlier poems. Gabriel comes to town with a load of turnips, bringing his little boy, Gabe, with him. Going into a store to make a purchase he leaves little Gabe in charge of the horses. The horses run away with him over the snow-covered prairie. Hall goes in search of the boy and finds at first only the overturned wagon in a snow drift. Despairing of human aid he kneels in the snow in prayer and shortly thereafter finds the little boy in a sheepfold, where he is nestled among the sheep. This is the reason, why in bidding the parson goodnight, he emphasizes his belief in the efficacy of prayer with the verse: "And I think that savin' a little child / And bringin' His to His own / Is a whole lot better business / Than singin' around the throne."
