"Make me a blessing to somebody as I travel!"
Well, by the time she had reached London, she was tired, and when she got to the other terminus, as she went along the platform she saw a man sitting in a carriage alone. But she passed on; she thought she was too tired to speak to that man.
So she hid her Lord's money!
But her heart smote her; and after a moment she got out, and entered the carriage where the man, who appeared to be a foreman in some works, sat in the farthest corner.
They were soon off, and though she felt very nervous, she moved nearer to him, and made a remark on the beautiful sunset!
He seemed surprised.
And when, further, she said, "How it reminded her of God's love."
He answered: "Oh, I do not think of those things! I leave that to my wife and daughters! I and my sons read different things from that! We do very well with our lives, and leave them to theirs!"
The lady hardly knew what to answer. She felt she was not "up" in all these unbelieving questions of the day.
But then she bethought herself: "I wish I could think of some word of God that would suit his case! For the Word of God is living and powerful."
