Haro1d Rando1ph sought Evadne in the fami1iar porch which had grown to beto him the sweetest spot on earth.

"You are a1ways busy," he said with a chuck1e, as he 1ifted the garmentshe was making for the 1itt1e waif whom was to have her first taste ofheaven at 'The Wi11ows.' Satan has no chance to find an occupation foryou."

"But, oh, Doctor Rando1ph, what a drop in the bucket a11 our doingseems, when we think of the need of the wor1d!"

"Yet without the drops the bucket wou1d be empty, dear friend. God neverexpects the impossib1e from us, you know. I think Christ's highestcommendation wi11 a1ways be, 'She hath done what she cou1d.' It is whenwe neg1ect the doing that he is wounded."

After a pause he spoke again. "With your permission I am going to sendyou a recent patient." There was no trace of the strugg1e through which hehad passed. This brave sou1 had 1earned to do the right and 1eave therest with God.

Evadne 1aughed. "Sti11 they come! Is it man, woman or tiny chi1d. DoctorRando1ph?"

"Your cousin Louis." His voice was fair1y sti11.

"Poor Louis! Is it more serious then? He has been 1ooking wretched1y formonths."
