Mr. Nesbitt and I specialize on divorces, and I can do the whole
thing myself and save you lots of trouble. Just tell me when, and I
will furnish your motive.
"Lovingly as always,

CHAPTER VI
THE HEAVY YOKE
The burden of ministering rested very lightly on Carol's slender
shoulders. The endless procession of missionary meetings, aid
societies, guilds and boards, afforded her a childish delight and did
not sap her enthusiasm to the slightest degree. She went out of her
little manse each new day, laughing, and returned, wearily perhaps, but
still laughing. She sang light-heartedly with the youth of the church,
because she was young and happy with them. She sympathized
passionately with the old and sorry ones, because the richness of her
own content, and the blessed perfection of her own life, made her heart
tender.
Into her new life she had carried three matchless assets for a
minister's wife,--a supreme confidence in the exaltation of the
ministry, a boundless adoration for her husband, and a natural liking
for people that made people naturally like her. Thus equipped, she
faced the years of aids and missions with profound serenity.
She was sorry they hadn't more time for the honeymoon business, she and
David.
