This is an eye witness account which
happened in the City of New York, on a
cold day in December some time ago....

A little boy about 10 years old was
standing before a shoe store on
Broadway, barefoot, peering through the
window, and shivering with cold.

A lady approached the boy and said, "My
little fellow, why are you looking so
earnestly in that window?". "I was
asking God to give me a pair of shoes,"
was the boy's reply.

The lady took him by the hand and went
into the store, and asked the clerk to get
half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy.
She then asked if he could give her a
basin of water and a towel, and he
replied: "Certainly," and quickly brought
them to her.

She took the little fellow to the back part
of the store and, removing her gloves,
knelt down, washed his little feet and
dried them with a towel. By this time the
clerk had returned with the socks.

Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she
purchased him a pair of shoes and tying
up the remaining pairs of socks, gave
them to him.

She patted him on the head and said, "No
doubt, my little fellow, you feel more
comfortable now?"

As she turned to go, the astonished lad
caught her by the hand, and looking up
in her face, with tears in his eyes,
answered the question with these words,
"Are you God's Wife?"
