your father's
looks. Wonderful are the ways of the Lord. The Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away. The Lord hath restored me tenfold into my bosom.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!"
Tom threw his arms round the old woman, and sobbed like a child.
"Mother, mother, I have found you, I have found you!" he cried out, as
he kissed her withered cheek.
What mattered it to him that she was aged and infirm, poor and despised?
She was his mother, of whom he had dreamed in his youth whom he had
always longed to find. He would now devote himself to cherish and
support her, and cheer her few remaining days on earth.
"My dear children," said Dr Morgan, who had entered soon after Moggy
had begun her history, "let us learn, from what we have heard, never to
cease to put our whole trust and confidence in God. Whatever happens,
let us go on praying to God and trusting in God, for let us be assured
that He always careth for us."
