“‘‘Wealth and riches shall be in his house.’ So they are, Sue; aren’t we rich?’

“‘Yes father. But don’t you think that means the other kind of riches, too?’

“‘I don’t know,’ said the cobbler; ‘if it does, we shall have them. But I don’t know, daughter; see,—

“‘‘Wealth and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endureth for ever.’ It seems as if that riches had to do with that righteousness. You know what Jesus says,—‘I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich.’ I guess it is the kind of riches of that man who is described ‘as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.’’

“‘Well, so we do, father: don’t we?’

“‘Let us praise him,’ said the cobbler.

“‘Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness.’ What a promise!’

“‘Unto the upright, again,’ said Sue.

“‘Mind it, dear Sue,’ said her father; ‘for we may see darker times than we have seen yet.’
