Enduring Christian Disappointments
By Christian Advocate
THE sensitive natures of some persons cause untold trouble not only to themselves but to all with whom they are associated. Two elderly ladies are said to have left a Sunday-school recently because the class to which they belonged was moved twelve feet from the place it had formerly occupied. It is well for Christian people to have opinions of their own, and to be ready to express them on all proper occasions; but those who make so much of trifles are wanting both in grace and sense. How can one "endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ" if he cannot endure a little disappointment concerning the place the organ shall occupy in the church, or the color of the carpet, or the person who shall lead the singing, or the location of a Sunday-school class?—Christian Advocate.
