| dc.description.transcription | Waxahachie Texas.October 25th1907.Addison ClarkSan Diego, Calif.My dear Brother Clark:-Since I talked with you over the phone in Amarillo, I have not heard a word which told me about Sister Clark’s condition, or your whereabouts until I readyour tender wordsin the Courier today.I have scannedthe pages of the Courier tolearn something but always in vain. You knowwithout my telling you, and yetitwill do me good to say it, that Mrs. McPherson and I are in sympathetic fellowship with you during your days of anxious watching. We know how your trueheart
bleeds when you see the anguish of body which your dear, frail wifeendures, but we also know that your strong faith has laid hold upon the assurance that all-all-allthings work together forgoodtothem who love our Lord. We can not see some things which will be. We can not see how some things can be –and yetwe have faithinGod. How satisfying the assurance unto the soul that we do not have tolean, in hours like this, on the armsof man–that we do not depend upon our own strength. How hope and life would perish if this were our support! To know that_____the weakness of God is stronger than men, and that the foolishness of God is wiser than men gives us something towhich we can anchor our storm–tossedsoul in such troubled seasasthis.We need not say “Maythe dear Father bless you,” because hewill. Already he has come tothe open door of your heart and flooded your soul with light. Ah! To know that he is able and willing and eager to do for us exceeding abundantabove all that we can ask or think! What consolation,what hope, what restis here! We are praying for you, brother Clark, and at the throneof our God our souls willmeet.Your sympathetic brother,ChalmersMcPherson | |
