I Come as I Went.

It was a touching incident which fell under the notice of a Christian lady lately at a railway station. She saw a husband bear his invalid wife in his arms from the car. As clasping his neck she was thus borne to a carriage, she remarked to a friend who stood near, in tones of unexpected cheerfulness, “You see, I come as I went.” Weak and helpless she had gone, weak and helpless she had returned; but, alike in going and coming, she had rested within the strong arms of him who loved her. And is this not the daily experience of every saint? How feeble in himself, yet how strong in Christ! “Without me ye can do nothing,” says the voice of Jesus. “I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me!” exclaims the apostle. “When I am weak, then am I strong.”
