At q testimony meeting In tho Elscy Me-
mortal Faith Cure Church, In Jewott avenue
Jersey City. on Sunday evening, Mrs. John
Elsey. the wife Of the founder OF tho church,
told this story:
1T was . cold. bitter cold, night" she said,
"snd the wind whistled through the trees and
telegraph wires like a whip lash through the
air. Our pet kitten, a beautiful animal that
we have had for . good many years and that
We thought . great deal OF, was out BY the
door crying to com in. I had never let her in
the house much for fear she would scratch my
little girl, and besides I don't believe In lotting
animals stay In a house with human beings.
Little Flora came to me and begged me to let
the cat In. I said no, but she begged so hard
that finally I said she could bring It In
for . little while. She did. and II lay
on q sofa until the next morning. Whom
Mr.. Elssy left the house I told him he had
better take It ont with him. and hs did. when
he came homo that night, little Flora again
beered that IL be allowed to como In the house.
and We let her BRING II In. Il curlsd up On the
sofa again n We thought It was goins 70
sleep. but very soon We heard . cough. II
sounded Just like Q human cough, but Il oame
from the direction Of the sofa. Papa got NJ
and then we heard the cough again. Il was
awful. stralned-like. and the cat got on the
sofa and began to walk around, coughing every
minute as It went. It made my heart ache.
Whom wo went to bed " put It on the sofa and
1t lay there and strained and coughed In . .
pitiful to hear. When . got up In the morn.
ing Mr.. Elsey said to me: Mamma. I COULDN'T
sleep all night on account OF tho cats cough.
ing hadn't slept much either, and1 looked
at him and then at the cat. and said: Papa.
We must give kitty to the Lord To give . per.
