Just a thought from the Pastor…

What’s the matter with Mrs. Craig?

The following news item appeared in the Nashville Banner, June 19, 1956:

3. Doesn’t she ever have headaches, colds, nervous spells, tired feelings, sudden calls out of town, business trips, Sunday picnics, or any trouble of any kind?
