A lady once applied to the philanthropist, Richard Reynolds, on behalf of a little orphan boy. After he had given liberally, she said:
"When he is old enough, I will teach him to name and thank his benefactor."
"Stop," replied he, "you art mistaken. We do not thank the clouds for rain. Teach him to look higher, and thank Him who gives both the clouds and the rain."
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights." James 1:17.
