The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1902-08-30

fences and words were all out and
mamma knew the whole story of
their terrible fright and how Frances
had almost been run over by a
swift-speeding horse and his hoot
had cruelty bruised the little foot,
the sobbing ceased and the sunshine
of the smiles began to break through
the tear-dimmed eyes, for mamma
knew all about it, and the burdenel
little hearts felt lighter and were
comforted in the love of her sym
pathy. Where a moment before had

shared with him you are i'll at ease,
and perhaps avoid his presence.
Your peace of mind is destroyed.
SO in larger degree is it with your
relations with your Heavenly Father.
