Parents often speak of a child's possessing a strong will as a very great calam- ity. It is certainly a calamity to have an unsubdued will, but a blessing to have strong desires yielded to a higher and holier will. The yielding of the will to the parent or teacher is often the schoolmaster that leads to Christ. Thank God if you have learned to submit your will to that of your parents. You have had but little occasion to practise submission now, but I trust you will treasure up this passage of S...cripture in your hearts and practise it all your lives. You will often be called to yield your will where you least expected it, and perhaps to those to whom you would not naturally yield it. This is often true in the family relations. Unhappiness in domestic circles might almost always be avoided, if there were only those found to say from the heart, "Not my will, but thine be done. " 219 220 RECOLLECTIONS OF MARY LYOX.
