Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 36: June 1, 1901 He would reason with her, telling her he did not think Frank a suitable companion for her; he advised her to ask the Lord if it was His will for her to become Frank's wife. that is the only true' way for a young per son to find the right companion, he said. So Rachel never allowed a night to pass without asking her Father in heaven to show to her in His own way, if it was His will for her to marry Frank; but no sooner would she finish her prayer than she would think, oh, I do hope it's His will for me to marry him; he is so nice and he loves me so dearly! Thus she continued praying and still desiring her own will more than that of her Heavenly Father. She still labored hard for the comfort of her loving father and brothers, and they thought nothing too good for Rachel. And as for a husband, why they thought the very best boy in town hardly her equal. But still she would receive Frank's attention, still listen to his flattering words and the many pet names he would call her. Rachel's father was now much pained over her devotion to Frank, and told her he was not pleased with her choice, neither did he think her Heavenly Father was.
