Scott Institute Able to Answer Call—Sleigh Helps Family Get Fuel—Many Pleas For Aid

“You never know when it will come in useful.” Everybody has said it sometime or other. The Scott Institute has proved the truth of the observation.

Since last spring they have had a pair of good crutches about the place. But nobody seemed to need them. What to do with them has often been the suggestion.

They have been given to a woman, bereaved last month of her husband, who had been an invalid, confined to bed for two years. Scarce had her husband died than further misfortune befell her. She broke her foot and has since had it in a plaster cast. She and her sister prayed for crutches. They didn’t get the crutches just then, but they did get the idea of putting in a request at the Scott Institute. The pair on hand proved just the thing.

A young lad came with a note from his mother. There were four children at home, all down with chicken pox. Could they have a sleigh so that the older boy could draw wood or coke? They needed fuel. And could they have bedding or warm clothes?

There really was a sleigh for them. Bedding too.
