Excerpt from For Thy Name's Sake, and Other Poems She entered the high-school when She was sixteen, and the year and a half which elapsed from her entrance to her last sickness was a period of very great enjoyment. She was younger in appearance than those of her age; but her mind was mature, and her intellectual and religious growth was very marked. She was conscientious in her school duties, earnest in the application of religious principle to the correction of faults in her life, and strong in the wish to find ways of usefulness in the ser vice of the Master She loved. Her faith in prayer was very strong, for she had a trustful confidence in God, feeling sure that he would grant her prayer if that would be best for her. She went to him for little things as well as great, as a Child would go to its parent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
