“A missionary once taught an ignorant
Chinese woman that she was God’s child.
This new-born child of God stood at the
railway station when a bombing raid
began. She raised her oil-paper umbrella.
‘I am God’s child, so I can’t be hurt’ she
screamed to the crowd. Whoever gets
under my umbrella with me will be safe.”
“Four helpless ones crowded under the
umbrella with God’s child. When the
raid was over, only those five stood alive
an unharmed amid the shambles. Under
the umbrella of the Almighty they had
found their refuge until this tyranny was
over past.”
