My very dear Student

I love to remember your sweet honesty of conviction. You are growing into the likeness by invisible processes. Be patient and wait on the Lord for His merciesAs Written:mecies endureth foreverEditorial Note: This phrase is a refrain throughout Psalm 136. . Write whatever you choose As Written: chose to me. But you will not expect a prompt correspondent in me for I have other work on hand. God has given me new lessons and I too must "be about my Father's businessLuke 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? .

Do not think it is for lack of love, but only a conviction of duty that makes me desire to be isolated from society.

I lose much growth if I lose God's opportunity As Written: oppertunity . Much thanks for your present. One of Drummond's works is a treat, but he gets things mixed, he sees through a clear lens at times, and then as through a glass darklyI Cor 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. I am fully sensible of your dear husband's growth from old landmarks within one year. The dear Father has him and all of us in His hands, let our faith rest in Him.

With much love
