d buoyancy out of her heart, never to return. Mr. Henry Lennox’s visit — his offer — was like a dream, a thing beside her actual life. The hard reality was, that her father had so admitted tempting doubts into his mind as to become a schismatic — an outcast; Green Bay Packers all the changes consequent upon this grouped themselves around that one great blighting New York Giants Hattar fact.
She looked out upon the dark-gray lines of the church tower, square and straight Barcelona Drakt Barn in the centre of the view, cutting against the deep blue transparent depths beyond, into which she gazed, and felt that she might gaze for ever, seeing at every moment some farther distance, and yet no sign of God! It seemed to her at the moment, as if the earth was Maillot Tottenham Hotspur Pas CHer more utterly desolate than if girt in by an iron dome, behind which there might be the ineffaceable peace and glory of the Almighty: those never-ending depths of space, in their still serenity, were more mocking to urBeats 3 her than any material bounds could be-shutting in the cries of earth’s sufferers, which now might ascend Argentina Drakt Barn into that infinite splendour of vastness and be lost — lost for ever, before they reached His throne. In this mood her father came in unheard. The moonlight was strong enough to let him see his daughter in her unusual place and attitude. He came to her and touched her shoulder before she was aware that he was there.
‘Margaret, I heard you Maillot Paraguay Pas CHer were up. I could not help coming in to ask you to pray with me — to say the Lord’s Prayer; that will do good to both of us.’
Mr. Hale and Margaret knelt by the window-seat — he looking up, she bowed down in humble shame. God was there, close around them, hearing her father’s whispered words. Her father might be a heretic; but had not she, in her despairing doubts not five minutes before, shown herself a far more utter sceptic? She spoke not a word, but stole to bed after her father had left her, like a child ashamed of its fault. If the world was full of perplexing problems she would trust, and only ask to see the one step needful for the hour. |
