'ONE, THE MARCH IN GOD BEGUN" 125
I never realised before how time may pass
without the help of reading or writing. Doing

Eustace's music spoke to me at this time more

F. is a great matter for thankfulness.
After that I passed through a time of physical
and spiritual (?) collapse, when I felt I could not
bear the thought of taking up the burden of life
again, and shrank from its jars.
I have sometimes thought this was one reason
why the work with Frances Jarvis was given me

I believed her illness to be hopeless. Since then,
surely, in her message of love to me, and saying she
was reading her Testament, there is a glimmer of
that day-star for which so many are longing and
waiting, and which is surely coming. These days
have taught me more than volumes of theology,

if we would be His children. How vain it is by
intellect to try and find out God ! How needful
it is in a time like this to keep very near to God !
To be clothed with humility, and seek to speak His
words ; when the door is shut, to remember it
will be opened when the time comes.
I felt the Revelation of Jesus Christ to be
irresistibly true, as I watched the vain struggle
