SEPTEMBER 27TH, 1905

MY DEAR —, — ... We have to do with perfect love, whether to nourish and cherish or to convict and discipline. How good that it is so, and that in some small way our hearts have been taught to know it!

We miss you both very much, but we are thankful that you are with your beloved mother in this time of special sorrow and exercise. The Lord will sustain you in every way most surely. It is such a comfort that if we are conscious of receiving from the Lord it must be the very thing that we really need.

So unerring is His love that it could not be otherwise. We are sometimes in Cana and sometimes at Bethany — it is with us the day of joy or the night of weeping, but He is the Minister of suited grace for each in its season. Blessed be His Name! ...

Yours very affectionately in the Lord,

September 27th, 1905.
