Sister Margaret had to struggle hard for her existence; but she had faith and patience; faith, to rise above difficulties, and patience, to bear up under them. Her daily task was to fill up the little tiny holes in newly manufactured cloth. So she was, day by day, sitting in her poor little chamber, which was half darkened by the cloth spread against the window to discern those tiny holes. At every one of her hard and trying tasks, she used to say: Now, I'll just finish this, and then the Lord will come.
One afternoon two or three Christian friends came to see Sister Margaret. In Sister Margaret's cupboard there was neither bread nor coffee - like the widow's barrel empty. Sister Margaret lifted up her heart to Him from Whom every good gift and every perfect gift cometh, and Who giveth liberally and upbraideth not. She filled her kettle with water and put it on the fire. The kettle began to sing. Sister Margaret silently thanked the Lord for having granted her request, though no sign of it was to be seen, not even, as it were, a little cloud as big as a man's hand. The water began to boil. Stil dearth all around. The water is boiling over. Says Siter Margaret quietly: Lord the kettle is boiling. A knock at the door. Another Christian friend enters, who knows nothing of the ugency of the case, and within a few moments Sister Margaret's table is spread with plenty.
