Of course David Laidlaw did not fail to redeem his promise to revisit the thievesβ den, and many a man and youth was he the means of plucking from the jaws of spiritual death during his occasional and frequent visits to Londonβin which work he was ably seconded by Tommy Splint, when that volatile spirit grew up to manhood. And among their coadjutors none were more helpful in the work of bringing souls to Christ than Mrs Rampy and her bosom-friend Mrs Blathers.
Strange to say, Liz came to her end in a garret after all. On a raw November day she went, under the care of Susy, to visit an old friend near Cherub Court, in a garret not very unlike her old home. While there she was struck down. There was no painβapparently no disease; simply a sudden sinking of the vital powers. They laid the dear old woman on her friendβs bed, and in half-an-hour she had passed away, while the faithful Susy held her hand and whispered words from the Master in her ear. Thus old Liz, having finished her grand work on earth, was transplanted from the Garret in the slums to the Garden of the Lord.
The End.
