Baptist Home: "Three years ago
today, November 2, we received the
awful message from the War Depart
ment, Russell Riggs killed in ac-
tion." Without a word to each other
or to any n else, moved by the
same impulse, we two parents went
up to the little room that had been
his, and there by the bed where with
him we had knelt the night before he
left for camp, we knelt again and
held up our bleeding hearts to God.
AS we tried to pray, we asked above
all things else, that grace might be
given us 80 to bear our sorrow that
the very calmness of our spirits in
the midst of the storm might be a
testimony to the world of the sustain
ing power of our God. We may not
be as good witnesses as we might be,
but WIS praise God for his grace"
