You know that Abraham sent his servant Eliezer a long journey to get a
wife for his son Isaac. When Eliezer had got Rebekah, he wanted to be
up and off with the young bride; but her mother and brother said, "No,
she shall wait awhile." When Eliezer was determined to go, they said,
"We will inquire of the damsel." And when Rebekah appeared, they said
to her, "Wilt thou go with this man?" That was a crisis in her life.
She could not have said "No." Undoubtedly it cost her an effort; it
would, of course, be a struggle. She had to give up her parents, home,
companions, all that she loved, and go with this stranger. But look at
her reply; she said, "I will go."
I have come to-night to get a bride for my Master. "Wilt thou go with
this man?" I can tell you one thing that Eliezer could not tell
Rebekah; he could not say, "Isaac loves you." Isaac had never seen his
bride. But I can say, "My Master loves you!"
