Elisha was determined to do what he
could to make the woman and her hus-

them a son. The prayer was answered.

Then came the day when the JOY In

"And when tho child was grown II fell

father: My head. my head And he said
to his servant: Garry him to his mother.

When Elisha heard the woman's word
he sent his servant to do what he could
for the child. But the mother was not
satisfied. She would not consent to leave
the prophet till he returned with her and
prayed to God that the boy might live
again. AS the woman feared would be
the case. the servant failed. but tho Mas
ter succeeded. God heard his prayer The
child lived again.
1t was thus that Elisha learned the
lesson learned thousands of years later
by a business man in New York state

sibilities that one cannot delegate to an
other. The business man. who was a
Christian. once taught others. IF you
