CHAPTER XXVIII.
"For them shalt find it after many days." "Come in;" and the Rev.Edward Lewis laid down his book, pushed back his study chair, and was ready to receive whoever was knocking at his study door.
"Mr.Lewis," said the little girl who came in in answer to his invitation, "father has just come from the post office, and he brought you some letters, and here they are." Mr.Lewis thanked his little next-door neighbour, took his letters, and, when the room was quiet again, settled back in his chair to enjoy them.
The first one was from a brother minister, begging an exchange.

The next brought a look of surprise and delight to his face, for he recognised Ellis Holbrook's handwriting.

And the delight spread and deepened as he read; especially when he came to one sentence: "I asked father what message he had for you, and he replied, Send him this verse, and tell him that again it is peculiarly his, 'I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplication.'" That, you see, would have told me the whole story, without this long letter.

"I thank God that He put it into your heart to pray for me, as also that He has heard your prayers.

God bless you.
