from her heavenly blue eyes.
Ettic always brought "A full basket and

God had taught him by wonderful mira

life of trial, and trouble, and hardship;
how he tasted often in the wilderness, VS.
shipwrecked on the sea, was prosecuted by
wicked men for the sake of his dear Lord
and how he suffered all gladly, rejoicing
that he was found worthy to endure "ior

And then, while my darling's eyes gr"~

the lips were pressed together, that thei-
quiyering might not betray how the little
heart was moved, l added " And whit
