| had written to two Christian
men for the loan Of money to help
me to preach the Gospel, and they
had refused me- l had written to
unconverted men and they had sent
me one hundred dollars each by re,
turn mail as a present. Why was it?
I paid all my debts before slept,
and thanked the Lord Jesus for
friends.
Nellie gained rapidly; in few
days she was able to sit up in her
chair. The doctor came in and
withdrew his medicine, but caution
ed her in regard to taking cold, and
forbade her entering her school dur
ing the term. AS he turned to go
out, | asked him for his bill. He
sat down, wrote receipt in full and
handed it to me, saying: 81 do not
charge theological students.
He went out before we could hard
ly have time to thank him. We
thanked the Lord Jesus.
Next day l brought in letter to
Nellie. AS she opened it, sitting in
her easy chair, fifty dollar bank
bill dropped out. She read the let
ter and handed it to me- 1t read
thus, in disguised hand:
"Dear Nellie: | learn that you are
sick and have been compelled to
leave your school, Please accept
the inclosed as a present from one
who does not need it. Please ex-
press your thanks by not trying to
find who sent it. One of your
friends
"Who wrote it," said Nellie
at is disguised" said [, "but
there is only one person who could
write it. She cannot deceive me-.
"Was it Mary?" she asked almost
in whisper.

There was silence. That letter
had awakened memories which l had
thought were dead-had aroused
hope which | dared not to put in
words. AS we bowed around the
family altar, we felt abundant reason
to be thankful.
