Childish mischief and a Psalm misquote at a Chicago mission
A North Side Sunday School child altered the twenty third Psalm in a playful pose saying The Lord is my pees I should worry. Mel Trotter, superintendent of the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago, noted the pupil’s understanding of the psalm in a recent audience. The story contrasts a petty neighborly dispute over a saucepan with a larger moment of faith and humor.
