The Source of Comfort.

"In every trial, in every lonesomeness, in every wasting grief that you have, understand that there are two ways of looking at it. One is the besotted way, the earth way, in which you wear your trouble; in which you measure it, in which you wear it like a girdle, in which you let it work upon your feelings, and make you selfish; in which you let it unman you, and cause you to bear false witness against the Saviour and his gospel. The other is the Christian way, in which you look up the moment trouble comes upon you."

"I recollect that once when I was a little boy, three years old, while walking through an entry in my father's house, I saw that I was alone, and uttered a shout of terror, which instantly brought my mother to my side. Whenever you find yourself alone, call for your God, your Father, God. Whenever there is any thing that hurts you, go right to God with it. And let your joys lead you to Him. You are never unwelcome where He is."
