Theological / Devotional

Bindeth a stone. To tie a stone into a sling so that the missile cannot fly off when one thong is released is not only to fail to accomplish the purpose in hitting the mark, but also to endanger one’s own safety, since the stone would be likely to fly round at the end of another thong and strike some part of the body.
