Part 2
NOW let us return to Miss B., and see some more of God’s marvelous ways.
What was she to do? She had been told, you know, that Helene had been sent to Boston. The poor girl would have no one to meet her there, and Helene could not speak one word of English. Miss B. had moved since giving Helene her address. The house was now occupied by strangers. A telegram to these people would be the best plan, she thought, asking them to take the stranger in, if she arrived at their house.
How was she to send this telegram so that the people would understand? She asked a policeman, but he was not able to help her. On her way to the boat-landing Miss B. remembered having seen a German mission. This would be a good place to go, and ask for advice, she thought. Miss B. hastened her steps, and on arriving at the mission, poured out her tale of woe to the Christian man in charge.
He asked the young woman’s name and left the room. When he returned with Helene at his side, can you imagine the joy of that meeting!
This dear girl still lives, and continually thanks the Lord for caring for her in such a wonderful way. She is happy, too, in the knowledge of having all her sins forgiven, washed away in the precious blood of Jesus.
“THOU, O LORD, ART A GOD FULL OF COMPASSION, AND GRACIOUS, LONG-SUFFERING AND PLENTEOUS IN MERCY AND TRUTH.” Psa. 86:15.
