My friend wrote to me about two American missionaries

who landed in England on their way to America. They had

six children, and they were very poor. Two of the children

had typhoid and died. A third was so ill that her mother

dared not leave her, even to see the other little ones laid in

their graves. There were other difficulties and sorrowful

circumstances, but in telling my friend of it all, that mother's

face shone though it was wet with tears. She said: 'It was all

right. When God took full possession of me, He put an

everlasting Amen to His Will down in the bottom of my soul'.

We are in the midst of much smaller troubles, but our

perplexities can be very perplexing sometimes, and the devil

tries to break in upon our peace. Let us ask our God to put

an everlasting Amen to His Will down in the bottom of our

souls. And let us ask Him to keep it there.
