"MORE GOOD THAN SERMONS!"
  A widow and her six children were stricken with a contagious illness. One morning at breakfast the minister's wife announced that she was going to take care of the stricken family. Her own family protested, but she only quoted a part of the 91st Psalm: "Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday," and "There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. I believe that Psalm means just what it says," she told the others. "It is a clear call for me to go. God will take care of you." She went, and was in that home for five weeks. When they were practically well again she went back home. Neither she nor her family contracted the disease. Her kindly act did more to raise the spiritual level of that community than all the sermons her husband preached!
