I have been free for
a few days, and have taken a journey, a flying tour among some of my friends.
How it quieted me, to be with my peace-loving friends in these wild times of
war!
There are some
friends whose presence is encouragement in all that is good, whom to look upon
is to grow stronger for the truth. There are homes, too, over which saintly
memories hang, making all within and around them sacred, blending earth with
heaven by holy sympathies. How blessed I am, to know such friends, to enter
such homes as these! Sometimes I can truly say, "My cup runneth
over!"
