OLD LADY THANKFUL
Wo like this story of an old Scots lady who, when an air raid warning sounded, was swept into an official shelter among a crowd of people. The hurry and bustle was too much for her, and she was seen to be muttering to herself, and somebody caught what she was saying. It was, “ For what we are about to receive may the Lord make, us truly thankful.” ' The poor old lady, evidently feeling that a prayer was appropriate, was repeating the first thing that came to her. it is good to live in a spirit of thankfulness, whatever comes.
