SWEETNESS AND SUFFERING.

By J. R. Miller

THERE are certain fragrant trees which bathe in perfume the ax that cuts into their wood. So it was with the life of Jesus. Wrong or injury done to Him only drew out more tenderness, sweeter love. We have a remarkable example of this in the very moment of crucifixion. It was when the nails were being driven through His hands and feet that He prayed, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”—J. R. Miller.
