from "Church Notes" by Reverend Jesse Halsey
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 [Mary A. Herrick], 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.
