A WORD TO THE WEARY.

By L. D. Santee

As the chilling winds of adversity sweep around us, and wrap our forms in their cold embrace, how cheering to know that Jesus is soon coming to end our sorrows and our care; that the battle now raging between our blessed King and the powers of darkness, will soon end in victory. But are we awake to the solemn time in which we are living? Have we on the armor of the Christian, and in our hand the sword of the Spirit? If we are not thus protected, we must fall. Awful is the condition of those who are at ease in Zion; for says Jesus, “He that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Are we arrayed on the side of the Master? Are we fighting the good fight? Oh! let us be valiant. Let us be hopeful; for our Jesus will soon triumph. Let us cling to his promises with a living and loving faith; for we know that what he has promised, he is able also to perform. When we are weary and hard-pressed, when the adversary tempts us with the allurements of the world, and the lusts of the flesh, let us remember that soon we shall be where our foes come no more; and let us be of good cheer.
L. D. SANTEE.
