On sheering off from the F. P. Sage, one of her davits caught and broke the mainmast of the little John Knox by the deck; and I saved my wife from being crushed to death by its fall, through managing to swing her instantaneously aside in an apparently impossible manner. It did graze Mr. Mathieson, but he was not hurt.
It is the Christ of the Bible, it is His Spirit entering into humanity, that has lifted Woman, and made her the helpmate and the friend of Man, not his toy or his slave. ABOUT the time of my dear wife's death, our brother Missionary, Mr. Mathieson, also became exceedingly unwell.
But Nettie tried its powers the first thing she did. Did Mr. Mathieson mean the blanket to take the place of his promise? Nettie thought of that, but like a wise child she said nothing at all till the Sunday morning came. Then, before she set off for Sunday-school, she came to her father's elbow. "Father, I'll be home a quarter after ten; will you be ready then?" "Ready for what?" said Mr.
Why, mother, you know Jesus is there; how can I help thinking about it?" "He is here, too," murmured poor Mrs. Mathieson. "Mother," said Nettie, tenderly, "aren't those good words, 'He hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard? I have thought of those words, very often."
O mother, 'rest in the Lord!" "I don't deserve to," said Mrs. Mathieson, trying to stop her tears. "I feel very well," Nettie went on; "only weak, but I shall be well directly. And I am so happy, mother. Wont you go on and get dinner? and mother, just do that; 'rest in the Lord." Nettie was not able to talk much, and Mrs. Mathieson checked herself and went on with her work, as she begged.
He was the friend and chief supporter of Mr. Mathieson and of his work. Having got him on board, they confined him in the hold amongst natives lying ill with measles. They gave him no food for about four-and-twenty hours; and then, without the promised present, they put him ashore far from his own home. Though weak and excited, he scrambled back to his tribe in great exhaustion and terror.
Mathieson. "For my New Year's," said Nettie. "You know you promised I should go to church with you." "Did I? And aint you going to take the blanket for your New Year's, and let me off, Nettie?" "No, father, to be sure not. I'll be home at a quarter past; please don't forget." And Nettie went off to school very thankful and happy, for her father's tone was not unkind.
Mathieson sobbed at first; but there came a great quietness over her; and as the clear beautiful strain came to an end, she rose up, threw her apron over her face, and knelt quietly down by the side of her bed; putting her face in her hands.
And somehow, mother, I got so that I hardly ever opened the shutter without thinking of those words 'Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation that keepeth the truth may enter in. I don't know why, but I used to think of it. And out of that window I used to see the stars, and look at the golden city." "Look at it!" said Mrs. Mathieson. "In my thoughts, you know, mother.
Mathieson, intimating that I must go, as another company of Christian workers were elsewhere waiting also to say Good-by, suggested that the whole audience should stand up, and, instead of hand-shaking, quietly breathe their benedictory Farewell as I passed from the platform down through their great Hall, a perfect flood of emotion overwhelmed me.
