 ''the songs of the Lord in a strange land?''

How I thirst for Heaven—that blessed habitation where our love for Jesus will have no limit! But to get there we must suffer we must weep Well, I wish to suffer all that shall please my Beloved, I wish to let Him do just as He wills with His "little ball."

Oh! What mysteries will be revealed to us later How often have I thought that I perhaps owe all the graces showered upon me to the earnest prayer of a little soul whom I shall know only in Heaven. It is God's will that in this world by means of prayer Heavenly treasures should be imparted by souls one to another, so that when they reach the Fatherland they may love one another with a love born of gratitude, with an affection far, far exceeding the most ideal family affection upon earth.
