More Prayers than Buttons.

“I have one little girl under my care,” remarked a teacher, “whose dress I have pinned up every day this week. There isn’t a button on the garment. Pins and patience alike became exhausted. ‘Why doesn’t your mother sew buttons on your dress, Mary,’ I asked her. “ ‘She hasn’t time,’ the child replied. “ ‘Couldn’t she do it last night ?’ “ ‘No, ma’am; she had to go to prayer meeting.’”— Buffalo Express.
