Excerpt from Cyril Ashley: A TaleThere is something of sadness in the words the last time, where the occupation which may have to be resigned has been counted a privilege and a joy. But A. L. O. E's prevailing feeling is that of deep thankfulness that she has been permitted to be' for so long, in her humble way, a drawer of water for the ¿ock of her Lord. Deeper would be that thankfulness, could 'she know that she had indeed helped some of His lambs on a heavenward way, by guiding them to the Good Shepherd. In His mercy and merits she rests all her own hopes of a blissful eternity hereafter, where the redeemed will serve without imperfection, weakness, or weariness, and rest not day or night, praising Him in whose presence is the fulness of joy, and at whose right hand there are pleasures for evermore.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
