What has occasioned this sudden revolution of feeling?

 

But see! her countenance is suddenly lit up—

A smile of hope plays along her features—

A ray of gladness has shot through her heart—

In fact, her whole appearance seems changed! 

What has occasioned this sudden revolution of feeling?

Has some kind angel touched a tender chord or breathed some sweet thought, which has awakened an emotion of joy—a hope of freedom in her soul?

Yes! a silent voice has spoken within, telling her of a land where chains are unknown, and where mothers will again meet with their darling babes! 

It bids her hope in God who will eventually deliver all His children out of bondage, and give them that liberty, which is theirs by divine inheritance—

By every law of right and justice.
