According to the story: It was a beautiful sunny day. Louisa M. Stead, her husband, and her daughter Lily,
decided to go for a picnic. They went picnicking on Long Island Sound. While having their picnic, the Steads
heard a scream. It was from a young boy. Mr. Stead ran to the rescue. Louisa Stead and young Lily watched
helplessly as Mr. Stead and the boy drowned. Their troubles were not over yet, however, and without her
husband, Mrs. Stead became very poor and destitute.Yet God never left her. He provided for her always and
she and her daughter made it through. Louisa learned to trust God, and thus the words to the song 'Tis So
Sweet to Trust in Jesus.' Shortly after this incident, Louisa and her daughter Lily moved to South Africa where
they became missionaries.

 8. Burdens Are Lifted At Calvary
Written by John M. Moore
I wrote ‘Burdens Are Lifted at Calvary’ after a most interesting experience. The company secretary
of a large shipping firm telephoned the Seaman’s Chapel and requested that I visit a young merchant seaman
who was lying critically ill in a Glasgow hospital. After getting permission from the nursing sister, I went in to
visit the young sailor. I talked for a few moments and then put my hand in my case for a tract, not knowing
which one I would pull out. It happened to be a tract based on ‘Pilgrim’s Progress’, with a color reproduction
of Pilgrim coming to the cross with a great burden on his back. I showed the young seaman this picture and
told him the story in brief, adding that Pilgrim’s experience had been my experience too. I explained that when
I came to the cross of Christ, my burden rolled away and my sense of sin and guilt before God was removed.
He nodded his head when I asked him, ‘Do you feel this burden on your back today?’ We prayed together
and never shall I forget the smile of peace and assurance that lit up his face when he said that his burden was
lifted!

9. Nearer, My God To Thee

Nearer, My God, to Thee" is a 19th-century Christian hymn by Sarah Flower Adams, which retells
the story of Jacob's dream. Genesis 28:11–12 can be translated as follows: "So he came to a certain place
and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at
his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the
earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it..."

10. When We All Get To Heaven

Eliza was born on this day, June 28, 1851 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Educated in the local school
system, she graduated as valedictorian of the Girl's Normal School that she attended. She became a teacher
in the public schools of her city. But then came misery. Her career screeched to a halt when she was forced
to bed with a painful spinal problem. (One of her descendants has contacted us and said her debilitating
condition was caused by an reckless student striking her with a piece of slate.) Lying in bed, she could have
been bitter. Instead, she studied English literature and began to sing and write:

Ellen G. White, Messages to Young People, Chapter 96 and 97

Music was made to serve a holy purpose, to lift the thoughts to that which is pure, noble, and elevating, and to
awaken I the soul devotion and gratitude to God.
Music should have beauty, pathos, and power. Let the voices be lifted in songs of praise and devotion. Call
to your aid, if practicable, instrumental music, and let the glorio us harmony ascend to God, an acceptable offering.
