Excerpt from Patience Strong's OutingsIt makes me think, that greeting, always. It seems, somehow, as if it were a sweet old fashion that might have come down out of the kingdom of heaven.That syllable is so full, word That which was in the beginning With God, and Without Which nothing was made that is made. What He has been giving out, always, down, through the angels, unto men, and into things. God's meanings, of thought and of life, his ins...

Excerpt from The Other Girls "Wait until you are helped, my dear! Don't touch the pie until it is cut!" The old Mother, Life, keeps saying that to us all.

I believe and hope that there is...
