Show Faith and Good Works. One Sunday morning a woman who lived in a country district was nearly an hour late to church. Since she was always very punctual, the parson greatly wondered and questioned her at the close of the service. "The horse that we were driving," answered the woman, "acted as if it was going to run away, so I got out of the wagon and walked all the way to town." "You shouldn't have been frightened, fright-ened, sister," impressively returned the parson. "You should have put your trust in Heaven." "I did until the harness broke," was the quick rejoinder of the woman, "and then I jumped." |
