"My faith looks up to Thee,

Thou Lamb of Calvary,

Savior divine!"

Dana joined in with his lovely voice, and the wonderful words rolled out and drifted down through the house. More than one lodger paused, looking up, listening in wonder, and turned back to blessed memories of other days.

"Now, brother," said Bruce as they finished their song and started out, "here's where you lay down your burden and forget it until God has orders for you. He's bearing the burden now. Come on, let's go, and suppose you tell me a bit about your new job. I'm tremendously interested to hear about it."

So they went out the door and down the street to their dinner, Dana telling all about Mr. Burney, and the office, and how Valerie Shannon was Mr. Burney's private secretary.

"It all sounds good to me," said Bruce. "If you ask me, I'd say the Lord has indeed been working on your behalf today, and it is evident He wants you to stay here in New York, at least for the present."

"I guess that must be true," said Dana. "And really, I suppose my state of depression over the afternoon's experience was brought on by the hurt to my own pride. You know, it was anything but easy to have one's mother talk that way about money, as if I were trying to cheat her."

"Well, of course that was tough. But she never has had the natural feelings of a mother, and you can't expect them. Besides, you are no worse off than you were. And you're much better off than that poor little sister of yours, for you had a father, a wonderful father, and she has never had either a mother or father."

"That's true. I wish I could do something for her to make up for what she has lost."

"You will, Dana. And I'd be glad to help, too."

"That's great of you, Bruce. I know she's not the kind of girl you naturally would pick out to be interested in, even distantly, and I know you can't enjoy even an occasional evening, or hour, in such uncongenial company."

"That's all right with me, Dana," said Bruce. "I'll be thinking how my Father loves her. And at least there's this, I haven't any other girl to object to my taking a little interest in her. But, do you realize we're making plans without her consent? She may already have had enough of us. In which case you and I will be shut up to prayer entirely in the matter, and maybe that's what God intends."

"Yes, I know," said Dana. "We'll just have to wait."
