And now may the peace of Him who careth for you fill your heart with all joy and consolation: for "all things work together for good to them that love God.
"Would you have your cares grow light?
Fix your eyes on Jesus;
Would you songs have, in the night?
Fix your eyes on Jesus.
Would you strength in weakness have?
Fix your eyes on Jesus;
See a light beyond the grave?
Fix your eyes on Jesus!"
"Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore.
O, could we all cry out with Whittier - -
"I know not where His islands left
Their fronded palms in air, -
I only know I cannot drift,
Beyond His love and care!"
God bless and keep thee and thine, my Ida! Love and best wishes from all to all. Especially to Carroll and Ida from,
Grace
