The day {8 a dry one and the candles are saved, Thank God! Thank Qod!” 5 I spoke to her and before T left her 1 had learned her story. She had not yet been two yoars in America. She had come because her two children were here and she could not live alone in Russia, Her husband’ bad died many years ago and when her two daughters departed she was left with no kith or kin near her except one poor brother of ‘her departed mat ‘How long since you are selling the candles here?’ I asked her, “Oh, Toohterell (little daughter), #0 long, so long that not once only have I prayed God to take me where the eternal Nght shines and where there are no candles to sell, But— He is right and His judgment is right. It will all be in His own day and time, But meanwhile, my dear child, I must sell my candles and bow my head to the very ground to show my gratitude for every penny’s worth of custom,” “And your daughters?” I asked. “Can they not help you #o that you would not have to struggle #0?” “My daughters!" and a sad smile fiickered around the corners of her mouth, “Dear, dear child!
