NURSE was gone, and Margie fairly established in her place, yet / managing to do a great deal besides caring for the invalid. There was / not an atom of selfishness or anything that was exacting in Clara / Raye's nature.
All that there was of these qualities and of jealousy had gone to mar / the character of Mabel, who had never known the restraining power of / religion in her own experience, the fear of God, which purifies the / life; the love of Jesus, which intensifies and makes more true, more / abiding, all worthy love; the vivifying influence of the Holy Spirit, / at once the Convincer, the Awakener, and the Comforter of the human / life that has learned the great secret of the life to come.
