Not always do those who dare such divine conflict prevail. Night after night the sweat of agony may burst dark on the forehead; the supplicant1 may cry for mercy with that soundless voice the soul utters when its appeal is to the Invisible. "Spare my beloved," it may implore2. "Heal my life's life. Rend3 not from me what long affection entwines with my whole nature. God of heaven, bend, hear, be clement4!" And after this cry and strife5 the sun may rise and see him worsted. That opening morn, which used to salute6 him with the whisper of zephyrs7, the carol of skylarks, may breathe, as its first accents, from the dear lips which colour and heat have quitted, "Oh! I have had a suffering night. This morning I am worse. I have tried to rise. I cannot. Dreams I am unused to have troubled me."
Then the watcher approaches the patient's pillow, and sees a new and strange moulding of the familiar features, feels at once that the insufferable moment draws nigh, knows that it is God's will his idol8 shall be broken, and bends his head, and subdues9 his soul to the sentence he cannot avert10 and scarce can bear.
Happy Mrs. Pryor! She was still praying, unconscious that the summer sun hung above the hills, when her child softly woke in her arms.
