The Lord
be with you more and more.
MUNNY.
Others, written during the same period, are as follows:--
Sorrower for us, who hast also become as a stranger to us!--Now we
know your anxious love for us. We have no doubt that He who directs
not according to man's thoughts has directed you to be away from us
much this year. We had thought that it would be a very pleasant
year; but the Lord has ordered it as he pleases, and let us say,
"His will be done." We know that he does all for our profit. What a
comfort this is to us who have given our all to the Saviour to do
with us as he will!
It is very hard to look at your vacant place; but we thank God it is
not made vacant by death. Though not with us in body, we believe
that you are, in spirit, and we rejoice that you can do as few can,
for the sick. The Lord be with you, who are the second in anguish,
and strengthen your weak body. The prayer of your pupils is ever for
your life. We have no words with which to comfort you; we can only
say, "The Saviour, with whom you are better acquainted than we are,
give you comfort."
What can we say to you, dear Mrs.
