LOVE TRIUMPHANT 89<br />
Could anything have more enhanced her value and<br />
increased his love? Here was a wo<strong>man</strong> <strong>who</strong>se price was<br />
indeed above rubies, What musk such words must have<br />
been to him as he listened! What a day to be remembered<br />
-<strong>God</strong>'s deliverance, and such a wo<strong>man</strong>'s love! Is it to<br />
be wondered that Hudson Taylor said: "My heart did<br />
sing for joy". Such days are the alpine heights of the / ·<br />
hu<strong>man</strong> heart.<br />
Another fortnight, and January 20, the wedding day,<br />
dawned, and these two, already one in heart, solemnly<br />
plighted their troth to one another till death should<br />
them part. With an old Chinese temple to do duty for<br />
the Consulate, with Mr. Robert Hart, afterwards the<br />
famous Inspector-General of the Chinese Maritime Customs,<br />
as Acting Consul, and with the Rev. F. F. Gough,<br />
of the Church Missionary Society, as Chaplain, their<br />
vows were heard, and <strong>God</strong>'s benediction besought.<br />
Hudson Taylor wore his Chinese robes, and Maria<br />
Dyer a simple grey silk gown. <strong>The</strong> erstwhile almost<br />
"hopeless heights of hope were scaled, the summit won!"<br />
Sorrow was turned into joy, and for the spirit of heaviness<br />
they had received the garments of praise.<br />
"Oh, to be married to the one you do love, and love most<br />
tenderly", Hudson Taylor wrote home some six weeks later.<br />
"This is bliss beyond the power of words to express or<br />
imagination to conceive. <strong>The</strong>re is no disappointment there.<br />
And every day as it shows more of the mind of your Beloved,<br />
when you have such a treasure as mine, makes you only more<br />
proud, more happy, more humbly thankful to the Giver of<br />
all good for this best of all earthly gifts."
