Rachel Gray: A Tale Founded on Fact
Kavanagh, Julia
Christian life -- Fiction; London (England) -- Fiction; Poor -- Fiction
And Rachel Gray, too, has her thoughts. As she looks at her father, and
whilst thankful for what she has obtained, as she yet longs, perhaps, for
the full gift she never can possess; if her heart feels a pang, if
repining it questions and says: "Oh! why have I not too a father to love
and know me, not imperfectly, but fully--completely," a sweet and secret
voice replies: "You had set your heart on human love, and because you had
set your heart upon it, it was not granted to you. Complain not, murmur
not, Rachel, if thou hast not thy father upon earth, remember that thou
hast thy Father in Heaven!"
THE END.
