Word from Mrs. H. R. Salisbury

In a letter received last week at the Mission Board office from Sister H. R. Salisbury, she tells of her deep sorrow, but states that the Lord has heard prayer in her behalf and has wonderfully sustained her. “The letters of sympathy which have come to me from all over India,” she writes (her letter is dated February 23), “and are now coming from England and America, have been a great comfort, and best of all has been the assurance they contained that my friends were praying for me. I know that God has heard their prayers and mine, and has given me strength for my hour of need.”

Unless some plan otherwise is made for her by the brethren in America, she will remain by the work in India, at least for a time. In going through some papers, she found this little verse cut out and put in Brother Salisbury’s notebook:—

“This is the day of toil Beneath earth’s sultry noon; This is the day of service true, But resting cometh soon. This way may rougher grow, The weariness increase; We gird our loins and hasten on, The end, the end is peace.”

She adds, “I know he tried to give his ‘service true,’ and I feel just as certain that with him ‘the end is peace.’”
