Lilla’s Renewed Pledge

By Lavinia S. Goodwin

It was just six months after that Lilla's mother remarked to her father how much Lilla's disposition had improved, and that no parents in Ottercreek had a better daughter. At this praise, and feeling her papa's arm embrace her, Lilla shed some joyful tears, and drew from her pocket an envelope containing her half-dozen worn and crumpled pledges. Her happy secret was out.
“I was thinking,” she said softly, “whether it was needful to renew my pledge again. I hope it is written on my heart now, as I am sure Ruthie's is on hers.”—Lavinia S. Goodwin, in The Watchman.
