A lady was asked to pay a call, but on arriving at the house found she had been given the wrong number.
The door was opened by an old woman, and on finding out her mistake, the visitor said,
“I am so sorry to have troubled you.” Opening her bag, she took out a little book, and handing it to her, she asked, “Can you see to read?”
“No, I am going blind,” was the reply, “but my little grandson will read it to me.”
“That’s right,” said the lady, “the words on the cover are, ‘If thou knewest the gift of God.’ I wonder if you know what that is.”
“Why yes,” said the old woman, “eternal life, and I have it.”
Can you say the same?
