He might well have thought that God had sent him to a strange helper in this poor widow with her empty cupboard; and it must have taken some faith on his part to reassure her with his cheery 'Fear not!

In the days of her distress she had pledged herself to devote her child to the service of God; in the days of her prosperity she does not forget the obligation.
