What’s the Matter with Mrs. Craig?

            This news item was seen in the Nashville Banner of June 10 , 1956, about a Mrs. Craig of Porter, Oklahoma, 81 years of age, who hasn’t missed Sunday school in 20 years.  The editor asked the following questions:

1. Doesn’t Mrs. Craig ever have company on Sunday to keep her from church?
2. Doesn’t she ever so anywhere on Saturdnv night and get up tired Sunday morning?
3. Doesn’t she ever have headaches, cold, nervous spells, tired feelings, poor breakfasts, sudden calls out of the city, business trips, Sunday picnics, or any other trouble?
4. Doesn’t she ever sleep too late?
5. Doesn’t it ever rain or snow in Porter on Sunday morning?
6. Doesn’t she ever get her feelings hurt by someone at church?
7. Doesn’t she ever read the Sunday paper?
8. Doesn’t she. ever get mad at the preacher or teachers?
9. Doesn’t she have any friends at all – friends who invite her to a week-end trip to the seashore or mountains?
10. Doesn’t she have a radio or television so that she can listen to “Some mighty good sermons from out of town”?

      Will someone please tell me: That’s the matter with Mrs. Craig?

      Could it be that she loves Jesus?
