There is an interesting sidelight to this story. It concerns the emotional upset of those ladies over the loss of their paintings. Their distress suggests, obviously, an emotional attachment. For faith to be true, however, one must place everything in God's hands-not only the safety of his possessions. One should be sensible, but at the same time he should be non-attached. True faith in God is unconditional. Its consequences never distress the mind.
