FINE GOLD or the Pearl of Great Price (Continued from page 548) I last saw you. But knowing you as I do, William, I feel sure of your forgiveness: “I want to tell you, too, that your many little talks on the joy and blessedness in the Christian life have all come back to me, and I understand them now, for I have yielded my life to Him whom I now love to serve as well as you. I am not living a weather-vane life now but have given the control of it over to the Master, and Xam so happy in Him. “I am hoping sometime that I may be called of God to represent Him in some far off heathen place, and am doing all I can to prepare myself to heed such a call when it comes. I remember now with pleasure your promise to con tinue to pray for me until I gave my life to Jesus Christ, and I know you will rejoice to know your prayers were answered. I regret so much that I was not able to see and tell you all this before you left this land, for it has long lain heavily on my heart, and when your XJncle Jack visited us and told us his news, I knew it was only fair that I, should write and tell you this. “We will always be glad to hear from you and are remembering your work in prayer, asking God to bless your labors for Him abundantly, “Again asking to be assured of your forgiveness, in which father and mother join, and assuring you of our . best wishes, I remain, “Your friend as ever, “ (Signed) Louise Birdsey.” A look of supreme delight shone in William’s face, and Randall, looking up from his correspondence, noted it with pleasure, then turned his back on his friend and was busy over answering his own letters, as they were planning to do but little letter writing on their trip. William’s feelings were mixed after reading the letter. He was glad to know Louise was a Christian, glad to know of her changed home, but he wished she had mentioned Worthington Randolph in telling of her home. Was he too a Christian? He saw by the way she had signed her name she was not yet married. They had almost no friends in common, and the disgrace which William felt was attached to him because of his father’s conduct made him sensitive about taking any initial steps to find out more about Louise. Slowly he drew his writing pad before him. It cost him an effort to write as he felt he must write. Oh! what it would have meant to him had this change come when he had first known her. “Dear Friend: “Be assured of my forgiveness fully and freely. Please do not think of it again. Had I known of the condition of affairs in regard to my father at the time you refer to X would have told you freely, hut Uncle Jack had kept It from me so that your words were a shock and surprise to me. However It was best that I should know, so do not blame yourself further. “I am more glad than tongue can tell to hear the news of your conversion and of your longing to serve Christ in tell ing the glad news to others. That is the logical outcome of every true conversion I believe. Although all are not called to leave home and friends and go abroad, yet I believe every follower of Christ is called to tell the Gospel story to others. “My service for Christ here is an unspeakable joy to me even though it has been and still lies through many trials and persecutions, or at least some people would call them
