My Dear Sister,

Josh. 3:15
I want your words to be full of grace,
poured out as precious ointment
.3See
Matt. 26:7

I want your every work to bear the stamp of God, to be
a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savour

without any part weak, earthly or human, all holy, all divine! The
great God, your Father and your love, bring you to this self-same thing! Begin, soldier
of Christ, child of God!
Walk worthy of the vocation wherewith thou art called

Remember the faith! Remember
the Captain of thy salvation
