WORKING FOR OUR GOD.

By Dean Farrar

WE all, in turn, must face our forlorn hours of saddest bereavement. For us all, sooner or later, our house must be left unto us desolate. But . . . these natural sorrows are and are meant to be full of blessedness; the light of God shining upon them transmutes them into heavenly gold. The wounds which God makes, God heals. The fire which kindles the grains of frankincense upon His altar, at the same time brings out their fragrance. All that He sends, if borne submissively, becomes rich in mercy. Upon the troubled soul which seeks Him, His consolations increase "with the gentleness of a sea which caresses the shore it covers."—Dean Farrar.
