But June did not know what to say; so she was silent too.
When June was gone Daisy went to her beloved window, and stood there.
She did not like to kneel, because her mother might come in, or even June, while she was doing so.

She stood at the sweet open window, and prayed that the Lord would take care of her, and help her to pray however she could.

And then the thought of those words came to Daisy:--"Thou, therefore, endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." She remembered very well how Captain Drummond had described the way a good soldier takes things--hard and disagreeable things as well as others.

It is part of his business to endure them; he expects them, and minds them not at all in comparison with the service in which he is engaged.

And a soldier of Jesus Christ has only to obey him, and take willingly whatever comes in the line of his service.
