She had said to the colporteur: Once I had a much nicer home and more spacious surroundings about me. When I came here to live at my brother's home, he provided this little room for me. I was seized with claustrophobia. My brother's family are ardent Catholic people. Then, too, I was so saddened as a result of my experi- ence. But then you came along and left me that wonderful book. This has brought new meaning to my life. I must learn more of this blessed truth. I have nothing now but the Lord and His precious promises, but I am so happy. I do not cringe from the thought of pergatory any more, and I am at peace with my Creator now. It may be that the Lord allowed these things to occur in order for me to learn the truth.
