So to all despairs, agonies, bitternesses, of the strong heart which once stormed through them all, but which God has chastened, exercised, at length blessed, comes this end. Harvest and seedtime in one combination--hopes realized, and hopes to come; and all her children under this quiet roof, sleeping the sleep of calm, untroubled rest--all giving thanks evening and morning for fair days sent to them out of the heavens, and sorrow charmed into sweet repose, and danger kept away. But though Martha’s eyes are blind with tears, and her heart calls upon Harry--Harry, safe in the strong hand of the Father, where temptation and sorrow can reach him never more--the same heart rises up in the great strength of joy and faith, and blesses God: Who knoweth the beginning from the end--who maketh His highway through the flood and the flame--His highway still, terrible though it be--who conducts into the pleasant places, and refreshes the failing heart with hope; and the sleep which He gives to His beloved, fell sweet and deep that night upon the wearied heart of Martha Muir.
