Stoddard, who are shrouded in a
cloud that is very dark? We know it is very hard for you to look on
the great vacancy that is made in your dwelling. But do trust in the
Lord; he will bring light out of darkness. We feel for you, plunged
in a sea of sorrow, in the deep places of sighs. Our eyes are every
hour upon the door, expecting what we shall hear from Harriette; and
our prayer is, that if it can be the Lord's will, she may be brought
back to you; but every letter increases our anxiety. We understand
not the Lord's dealings this year, except this: we know that he does
all things for the profit of our souls.
RAHEEL.
MARTA.
The writer of the following was at that time a teacher in the
Seminary, and a striking illustration of the elevating power of a
good education. Formerly a female who was either lame or deformed
was so despised, that she could never hope to be the head of a
family: she was doomed to drag through a miserable life, the object
of universal neglect. But Hoshebo, though a fall in early youth had
shattered her ankle, and the ignorance of native surgeons made her a
cripple for life, yet because of her education was as much esteemed
as before she would have been despised, and is now the wife of
Meerza, our native helper at Saralon.
