“AS MANY AS I LOVE.”

By Roswell Fenner Cottrell

All the dealings of our kind Father are in love. ALL our chastisements from his hand are for our profit. Love is the ruling principle in all he does. He does not willingly afflict us, but for our good. It becomes us then, instead of repining, to kiss the rod. He knows what is best for us. We do not know. But this we know, if we believe his word, that all is for our benefit and salvation. Seeing then we are confident that he knows what is best, we yield our judgment and sweetly confide in his. Though we cannot see the reason why he does this or that, yet we can say, Our Father knows, he loves us, and his will be done! All that he does is done right, and blessed be the name of the Lord. R. F. COTTRELL.
