Hard Work for tho Almighty.

There is a minister in New York city
who said once that he was not certain
that he should ever make a long prayer
again. What led him to say this was the
remark of very small boy whose mother
attends his church. Since the minister
learned of the remark, it may not be un-
fair to tell the story. It was a very long
prayer, and when the mother was leading
her son from the church after the services
the boy said to her, Mamma, don't you
think God must get awfuily tiredfn His
mother looked at him in surprise. "What
makes you think soY" she asked. .Oh, he
works so hard" She waited moment.
