Comfort in Christian Hope

It has been said, and we believe truly, that he who has never known sorrow has never come to know God. At least it is only those who have passed through great trial and sorrow who come to appreciate fully the consolation of the Christian’s hope. A letter from Elder J. H. Rogers, whose wife died several weeks ago, contains the following words of courage in hours of darkness: “The many kind and sympathetic words spoken and written by my dear friends have been greatly appreciated in my grief. The walk of my wife and myself in life’s rugged pathway had become more and more endearing as time rolled on, for we were spared to spend more than sixty-one years together. Now the rose bloom fades, and the thorns appear to torture my heart in this uncertain time. But I am sustained by the blessed hope that we shall soon meet where there is no sorrow. This gives me comfort in my sad bereavement.”
