Grateful for the warning given her, never again did Mary carry forth her basket on Sunday. Henceforth, by example as well as by precept, she brought up her little one in the fear and love of God. And when, after many years, the widow was called home to her soul's rest, she could with peaceful hope thus bid her daughter farewell.
"Good-bye, my loved one! God be with you in your trouble, He has never failed me in mine! 'Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and verily thou shall be fed.' Good-bye, until we meet again, through the Saviour's merits,—the Saviour's love,—in His kingdom of glory!"
