"Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him" is a divine command. The waiting-time may seem long and weary, but it is not in vain, and we may be sure that He who bade us wait will not forget us nor abandon us. There is a story told of Havelock and his son, who were one morning crossing London Bridge. Suddenly Havelock thought of something forgotten and for which he needed to return. Leaving the boy on the bridge, he bade him wait till he should come back. He was detained by business, and, his mind being occupied, he forgot the boy and did not return to the bridge at all, but went another way. Reaching home late in the evening, his wife inquired where Harry was. In a moment it flashed upon him. "Why, Harry is on London Bridge!" And hurrying away to the bridge, he found him just where he had left him in the morning. The boy had waited all day, and at last his patience was rewarded.
