Eye Witness

               An Eye Witness Account from
           New York City, on a cold day in
           December...(Wishfully, this kind of
           thing would happen frequently every-
           where...)

               A little boy about 10 years old
           was standin before a shoe store on 
           the roadway, barefoot, peering through
           the window, and shivering with cold.
           A lady approached the boy and said
           "My little fellow, why are you looking
           so earnestly in that window?" "I was
           asking God to give me a pair of shoes,"
           was the boys reply. The lady took him
           by the hand and went into the store
           and asked the clerk to get half a 
           dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She
           then asked if her could give her a 
           basin of water and a towel. He quickly
           brought them to her. She took the little
           fellow to the back part of the store and
           removing her gloves, knelt down, washed
           his little feet, and dried them with a
           towel. By the time the clerk had returned
           with the socks. Placing a pair upon the
           boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of
           shoes. She tied up the remaining pairs of
           socks and gave them to him. She patted
           him on the head and said "No doubt, my little
           fellow, you feel more comfortable now?" AS she
           turned to go the astonished lad caught her by 
           the hand, and looking up in her face, with
           tears in his eyes, answered the question
           with these words: "Are you God's Wife?"
