Merthyr gave her his word after he had looked on her face. "Send to me every two hours, that I may know you are near," she added; "do not fear waking me. Or, no, dear friend; why should I have any concealment from you? Be not a moment absent, if you would not have me fall to the ground a second time: follow me."
They were moving rapidly along the level roadway now, and his grip on her wrist was like a clasp of iron. "To save themselves? Of course, they would as they would a dog!" he said. "They are my friends, and they are the best, the truest in the world," she gasped, eager to keep the promise of protection made in the farewell note.
If you only knew how much grace a little care destroyed, you would quickly cast them on Jesus. Some have come to find themselves entirely without grace because they did not cast their cares on the Lord. We knew a sister whose baby was such a care that she could not keep saved.

There are no feather-bed soldiers here. In the schools and universities, however, you see the rare earnestness of the Slav. Such is Serbia.
