“Yes,” said Maggie, with grave sweetness: “the narrow road, where the golden letters and the silver thread shall guide us, and where our Brother will help us where it is too hard for us to go alone.”
“And where our Father has let us find a few jewels for Him, I b’lieve,” chimed in Bessie’s soft voice. “I hope we may find some more, but He knows best.”
“‘They that seek shall find,’ if they search by the light of God’s Holy Word,” said the Colonel, laying a loving hand on each little head; “but we may not know what treasures are ours, till the day when he shall make up His jewels.”
And now go forth on your travels, my Maggie and Bessie, followed by the earnest prayer that you may be the means of drawing other little pilgrims to journey beside the green pastures and still waters of the way of salvation, led by the hand of the gentle Shepherd, who has said, “Suffer little children to come unto me;” and who will guide them at last to that perfect home, prepared for such as are of “the kingdom of heaven.”
