"A man in Dayton, Ohio, not believing
there was any God, had a card printed with
these words, GoD is NOWHERE" aud hung
it up in his Office. He had little niece who
was very happy all the time One day she
visited her uncle's office. After playing with
even ythiug she could find within her reach to
interest her, she began to look around on the
walls, aud her eyes fell on the card. Having
just begun to read writing, the letters were
not so familiar to her but that she had to
spell out anything that was written. So she
began to spell out aloud, "G-o-d-God, is
is, n-o-w-h She could not
understand that, aud looking down on the
floor, repeated the words. She thought she
must be mistaken. Then she commenced
again, so loud that her uncle, who sat at the
desk, heard her. G.o-d--God, isis,
n-o-w--noV, h-e-r-e-here. Tha's right"
she exclaimed, looking round at her uncle.
The arrow had struck The more he thought
Of it, the more il appeared Fright" to hin.
