Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the clean-retina domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Aunt Sally keeps Mary busy \u201cfrom morning to night\u201d in the exhausting attempt to care for five small children and preserve her house in spotless order at the same time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many other things I\u2019d like to do for God,\u201d Mary mourns. \u201cAnd Aunt Sally says she can\u2019t spare me. If I am to be kept toiling and slaving the whole day long, how can I do service for God?\u201d<\/p>\n
But blind Annie takes a different view of the matter. Will Mary prove the truth of her old friend\u2019s secret? Or is Annie mistaken when she declares that Mary still has a precious opportunity to work for the Lord?<\/p>\n
