Toledo, Ohio, April 6, 1900.
My Dear Father:—It was with feelings much mingled that I read your letter of March 30, from Riverside, a brief acknowledgment of which I have already given you.
I am glad that you find comfort in the fact that our lives are changed. It is truly a joy and relief to find an abiding place, away from the unsettled conditions of unbelief and unrest into a haven of peace and firm anchorage. The transition seems to have been so gentle, so natural, I can scarcely believe that but a year ago I was inclined to sneer at Christianity and to lapse into infidelity.
