SICKNESS AT THE ORPHANAGE. LAS! since the above was written, sickness and death have again entered our Orphanage, as will be seen by the report of our Paris Council. Little Emma and Bertie, playmates of our two Nellies, sickened almost at the same time. Emmie had known very little loving care ere she came to us. Her mother deserted her, and her poor little face had that anxious, wizened look which betokens early childish suffering. There was no one to sorrow when she was laid to rest, save her friends and companions at the Orphanage. They, though awe-stricken with this sudden visitation of the angel of death, tried to realize that she had joined the children in our Heavenly Father's Home, where we read, "The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof." Her companion, Bertie, was at once removed, and was for some time in great danger. When better, he said his hymn so sweetly, and then asked if he might have the little kitten to play on his bed. We have every hope of his recovery. This child is the very apple of his mother's eye. The writer of this article had the pleasure of introducing him to the Orphanage, during the illness of his mother, who was obliged to go into the hospital. The mother feared he might be sad at leaving home; but a sponge cake and the new sight of happy children playing, quite comforted the little fellow. His mother, one Sunday afternoon shortly after, was surprised to see the pale-faced child she had so sadly parted from looking far stronger and bonnier than she had ever hoped. But good air and plenty of food soon told their tale and brought roses into the little cheeks. M. H. D. Echoes from Paris. WHATEVER GOD DOES IS WELL! HATEVER God does is well! His children find it so; Some He doth not with plenty bless, But draws their hearts unto Himself away,- Whatever God does is well, Whether He gives or takes! And what we from His Hand receive Suffices us to live. He takes and gives, while yet He loves us still, Then love His will. Whatever God does is well! And what can our will do? We cannot reap from what we sow, Sometimes He doth all other good destroy, Whatever God does is well! And His will shall prevail. Doth He refuse thy hands to fill? A Christian from a very little gift Whatever God does is well! Although the field look dark, Yet cheerful in His path we go ; And by our faith we know That Christ for us hath heavenly riches bought.— Can we lack aught? Whatever God does is well! In patience let us wait; He doth Himself our burdens bear, He doth for us take care: And He, our God, knows all our weary days.— Come, give Him praise. 93 N. SCHMOLk. |
