FAITH, INADEQUATE

A great many people’s faith is like the old woman’s trust. The

horse ran away with a wagon in which she was seated and she was

in imminent peril. But she was rescued, and some one said to

her: “Madam, how did you feel when the horse ran away?” “Well,”

said she, “I hardly know how I felt; you see, I trusted in

Providence at first, and when the harness broke, then I gave

up.”--JOHN B. GOUGH.

(1040)

=Faith in Christ=--See CHRIST, FAITH IN.
