The Ripper Prayer

[Simon Wood]

Hi All,

New Orleans Daily Picayune, 24th February 1895—

"When Jack the Ripper was terrifying the women of the Whitechapel district the Salvation Army opened a shelter for them. One who was converted there showed an amazing faith in Providence bringing good out of evil in a prayer which she offered in meeting:

"O Lord, we thank thee for sending Jack the Ripper among us, because if thou hadst not sent him we wouldn't have come here and we wouldn't have been saved."

Regards,

Simon

Hello Simon. I thought Ernest Parke had composed that one? (heh-heh)

Cheers.
