Parents’ Hope for Their Son

In a recent letter to the REVIEW, the parents of Elder J. C. Little, who recently died in India, say this of their son's experience, and their own resignation and hope in their great sorrow:—

“It may seem strange to you; but when he was yet a babe, though we were not Christians, we gave our boy to the Lord, and the Lord surely accepted him. He was always an obedient son, and when not working hard on the farm, was continually studying his books. Seven years ago, he sent his name to the Mission Board as a candidate for a foreign field. The next year the call came for him to go, so he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Kelly, of Tacoma, Wash., a student of Walla Walla College, and they started for the field of their choice, Oct. 4, 1904. Though our hearts are filled with sorrow at the sad death of our dear boy, we sorrow not as those who have no hope, but we are assured that he will come up in the first resurrection with the bloom of life and health. O, that we may be faithful!”
