Trust Your BOY.

II takes good deal of wisdom and
insight - know when TO let those
whom we love alone. and in the ease
of an immature boy IL calls for a Large
amount OF faith. Phillips Brooks

these words OF counsel out of her own
experience:
There is an eye when il IS not well

he is going or how long he will be

mother. but 1t is also her opportunity
to practice wisdom by loving and pray
