[IN THE TWILIGHT SIDE BY SIDE.]
Third Series.
By RUTH LAMB.
PART I.
THE PRECIOUSNESS OF TIME.
"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom" (Psalm xc. 12).
Once more you, my dear girl friends, and I meet to hold pleasant converse with each other.
I feel that something specially pleasant would be missing from my own life were our twilight talks to cease. It is with a sense alike of happiness and thankfulness that I look forward to your companionship for yet another year. God grant that, as in the past, so in the future, we may be very helpful to each other in crossing the rough places that have to be encountered on the path of life.
I feel that a song of thanksgiving should go up from us all for mercies already bestowed, and an earnest united prayer to God for an ever-increasing blessing upon our meetings.
One thought must come to us all this evening. Two years have passed since we first came together, hence we feel that so much of our lives has gone, and we have two years less in which to work for God.
