Mrs. Psalmody

By Boston Transcript

Mrs. Psalmody was a conscientious Christian. There could be no doubt of this, for she frequently remarked to that effect herself. Therefore Mrs. Psalmody was very strict in her observance of the sanctity of the Sabbath. In order to avoid performing labor on the holy day, she invariably dined with Aunt Betsy on Sunday. Aunt Betsy was a superior cook, and Mrs. Psalmody was kindly appreciative of Aunt Betsy’s excellence in this regard; but Mrs. Psalmody never neglected her duty towards the culinary Aunt Betsy, by reminding the latter, after the dinner had been disposed of, that it was very sinful in her to remain away from the morning service. “I always let my cooking go,” said Mrs. Psalmody, “that I may attend church”—which was strictly true, as well as highly commendable.—Boston Transcript.
