TRULY AN AWFUL THOUGHT
Small Girl Feared She Had Somewhat
overdone Matter of Praying for
Baby Brother.

The little girl came home to her
mamma very much disturbed because
little Susie, her neighbOr, had a new
baby brother to play with, while she,
herself, was very lonely. Her mother
comfOrted her and told her to ask God
to send Ter a little brother, too. So
the child began to pray for a little
brother, and occasionally got impa-
tient but her mother told her to keep
on praying and perhaps her prayer
would be answered some day.
One day she was called into the
mothers room, and her delight knew
no bounds when the nurse took a wee
thing up from the mothers side and
laid it in Ter arms. But a moment
later, when the nurse picked up an
other bit of humanity, the child al
most dropped the one she was holding,
and a startled expression came into
her face as she said:
"Oh, mama is God going to answer
all those prayers that prayed?"
