B. Andrews told me that one of the revealing moments of God
was when he laid his hand on his wife’s abdomen and felt the first stirring of
new life before the advent of their first baby.
I knew I was grown up and must take the places of the Fathers
when Heckie, of all souls, the most cheerful and courageous through the years,
looked to me for comfort in her last days. When I repeated Samuel Rutherford, “deep
waters crossed life’s pathway,” etc., she said something that was like the
accolade of knighthood after a long vigil; I knew I had been initiated.
