THERE'S A BOY IN OUR TOWN
Who with his brother is making his
home with two aunts in Fillmore
street. Not long ago he and his
brother and aunts were out automo-
bile riding north of town when the
car stopped and refused to start for
some time. This young man has been
taught to pray when in difficulty and
often does so. While his aunts were
wondering how to get the car started
he was not noticed for some time.
Soon they heard a munibling and saw
him with his head down on the cush-
ion and he was praying. What they
heard him say was, Dear Lord, we
are in a terrible fix. the car will not
start and we are miles and miles from
home with only woman chauffeur.
