Pray for them. * * * Timothy Pietsch ’33, on fire for Japan, has a sailing date which, on account of the poor state of Helen’s health, he is obliged to postpone un til a later date.

Sometimes I see His tender (ace before me; Sometimes I hear His voice, when all is still; Sometimes I (eel His presence close beside me, And then I pray, and wait to know His will. Sometimes the way is hard, and dark surrounds me; Sometimes I stumble as the hot tears blind; I (eel so far away From Him, and lonely, And then my hand in His warm clasp I find. There is no way so steep He has not climbed it. No grief or pain but what my Lord has known; And when at last I reach the Shad owed Valley I shall not (ear; I shall not walk alone. —RA1.1.I1C D.
