shoe store on Broadway, barefooted, 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?"

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 he quickly brought them to her.

she purchased him a pair of shoes, and tying up the
remaining pairs of socks, gave them to him. She patted him

answered the question with these words... "Are you God's
Wife?
