An inexpressible glory filled her soul,
washed clean of sin. Love beyond words, peace and joy beyond expression,
surrounded her. She stood up and lifted her face and hands to heaven and
cried out like one in a swoon of triumph,
"Thou hast called me by my name! I am Thine!"
All doubt, all fear, all sorrow, all pain was gone. She knew as by
flashlight, her whole duty to her husband and her relatives and friends.
She was willing with all her heart to perform it. She went to the little
stream and bathed her face and she thought it said as it ran onward,
_"Happy woman! Happy woman!"_ The trees looked larger and greener, and
seemed to stand in a golden glow. The shepherd's rose and the stately
foxgloves were more full of color and scent. She heard the fine inner
tones of the birds' songs that Heaven only hears; and all nature was
glorified and rejoiced with her. She had a new heart and the old cares
and sorrows had gone away forever.
Such conversions are among the deepest, real facts in the history of the
soul of man.
