'Me Y)ayesye Service LL ye in pain and labor come to Me. I And lay your burdens down, and find sweet rest; 1'hen you the wisdom of the cross shall see. And know that resignation is thrice blessed. The blind, the deaf, the lame shall be made whole. And feel again the rapturous thrill of health. That reaching to the depth of inmost soul. Reveal the worth divine of suffering’s wealth. Rabboni! Master! kindle in our souls The sacrificial flame that feeds on love: Then we each brother's sorrows shall condole. And find in Service, joy. all joys above. And this the great reward to us shall be. That serving them, we do it unto Thee. Helen Murray 12

Margaret's father. Edward Atheling. and her future husband. Malcolm Canmore. being among them. Edward Atheling was a lineal descendent of Alfred the Great, and a nephew of Edward the Confessor. His wife Agatha. Margaret's mother, was the daughter of Henry III of Germany. Margaret came of a race of saints and kings, and was richly endowed with the noble attributes characteristic of both.
