THE
NEXT
MEAL.
ON
a
recent
Sunday
evening,
a
sick
member
of
a
congregation,
debarred
from
attending
her
customary
place
of
worship,
entrusted
to
the
hand
of
the
minister
a
two-shilling
piece,
which
he
was
to
hand
to
a
poor
widow
known
to
them
both.
It
so
happened
that
he
encountered
her
slowly
making
her
way
to
the
church,
and
at
once
handed
to
her
the
coin.
But
he
was
hardly
prepared
for
the
immediate
response:
“1
did
not
think
that
He
would
have
sent
it
so
soon.”
On
further
inquiry
he
discovered
that
she
had
placed
her
last
coin
that
day
in
the
collection,
and
was
entirely
dependent
upon
such
answer
as
her
Heavenly
Father
might
send
to
her
trustful
prayer
that
he
would
provide
for
her
next
meal.
Evidently
she
had
been
accustomed
to
close
dealings
with
God,
and
had

his

BABY

Bary
had
begun
to
walk,
and
it
was
seen
straightway
that
there
were
many
pitfalls
for
toddling
feet.
There
were
rugs
and
door-sills
to
trip
over,
and
then,
most
serious
of
all,
there
were
stairs.
What
should
be
done
about
these?
Should
the
tops
of
the
stairs
be
guarded
by

it
