Roe, Edward Payson, 1838-1888

"Miss Lou"

Don't you see? We are saved from some things and given strength
to bear what does happen. Don't you worry about yourself, my dear.
Just look up and trust. Happily, the sun of God's love shines on
just the same, unaffected by the passing clouds of our feelings and
experiences. He sees the end and knows all about the peaceful, happy
eternity before us. You dear, worn-out little child! His love is
ever about you like my arms at this moment," and the old lady drew
the girl to her in an impulse of motherly tenderness.
"Oh, Mrs. Waldo, you make me feel what it is to have no mother,"
sobbed Miss Lou.
"Well, my dear, that's your heavy cross. Sooner or later, in some
form, a cross burdens every human soul, too often many crosses. All
I ask of you is not to try to bear them alone. See how faith changed
everything for Captain Hanfield in his extremity. He is now in the
better home, waiting for his dear ones."
"I can never forget what faith has done for you and your son, Mrs.
Waldo. Surgeon Ackley said that your son's absolute quiet and
cheerfulness of mind during the first critical days saved his life.
