He Needed It More.

A minister meeting a neighbor’s boy who had just come out of a fight on New Year’s day with a fearful black eye, put his hand on the boy’s head and said; "My boy, I pray you may never fight again, and that you may never receive another black eye.’’ "That’s all right,” said the boy, “you go home and pray over your own kid. I gave him two of them.’’ —National Food Magazine.
