Perhaps Lucinda's frequent calls made him more at
entive than he would have been otherwise, for not
wIthstanding he little more than seventeen, he re-

pai,laes Of boyhood. That feeling was reciprocal

daily gaining strength on both sides.
1t was in A1elines sick room that lucindas mind
first received the impress OF early plely. The New
halls were not only descendoA from our Puritan ia
theirs, bu, they felt in themselves that trust In God
which had cnmlur,ed their while inhabitants

the God of her parents, and early age, had
sought and found the Savior whom 10 know argh, Is
life eternal She frequently convcrsed with her friend
, upon the realities of the world and upon the
strong con solaons granted her when heart and flesh
were failing.
Lucinda saw her patience under suffering and her
willingness leave the world when all was bright
around her. and she led to reflect upon the value
