High and Lofty One

We do not know, but the newspapers say, that there is burning and jealousy among the politicians and “society” people over the attention and favors of that much-to-be-commiserated man, President McKinley. We have no doubt that he tried to do the best he could, and every true heart sympathized with him in the affliction of his wife. But what we started to say was this: There are thousands of us who may not be honored by the personal friendship or social favors of the rulers of earth; but it is the privilege of all to have as a constant abiding friend, counselor, and helper, One greater than all of earth. “For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” He is willing, anxious, and able to be the guest of all. Will you let Him?
