The Lord be with you, dear -, and help you in your work. It is a mercy to be allowed to work for Him. The time will come when we shall know all else is vanity. Keep close to Him: there only is strength or help or wisdom. We must expect combat, and sorrow over failure, but let our eyes look straightforward. The Lord exercises us in these things. We have only to do His will, and walk in grace to others as those who may be tempted themselves. 540
