Let us hope these little boys were ever grateful to their Heavenly
Father, who had watched over and preserved them amid all their trials
and sufferings, and finally enabled them to reach their home and
friends. And let us all remember, that we can trust in Him, for He is
able to preserve us, as well in the hour of danger as in that of fancied
security and safety. Our lives are in His hands at all times, and it is
from His mercy and goodness that we are fed, and clothed, and enjoy the
many blessings which He constantly bestows upon us.
