Prayer Nellie Wrote For Son Paul Before Her Death
The way of life is rough and thorny and often may its flinty rocks wound thy onward treading feet, and its sharp thrones pierce thy hand so eagerly extended to pluck its tempting fruits. Gather up thy strength for the battle of life thou child of many prayers, for it shall prove to be a severe conflict. Be bold, be steadfast, be patient, be trustful, be truthful and God shall bear thee nobly thru the struggle.
