Show WHERE DEEPEST LOVE ABIDES. God's Goodness Chiefly Felt by Those in Tribulation. Whero Is It that God. In Ills searching search-ing of tho hearts of His children, hears tho tones ot the deepest love, nnd Fees on tho uplifted faco the light of the most heartfelt gratitude? Not where His gifts are most profuse, but where they seem most meager; not whero tho suppliant's worship glides forth from the cushion ot luxury through lips saturated! with plenty and rounded by health; not within tho halls of successful ambition, or even the dwellings of unbroken domestic 'pence; but where 'tho outcast, flying from persecution, kneels In the evening even-ing on the rock whereon ho sleeps; by the fresh grave, where, as tho earth Is opened, heaven In answer opens too; by tho pillow of the wasted wast-ed sufferer, where tho sunken eye, denied sleep, converses with 11 3llent star, and the hollow volco enumerates In low prayer the scanty list of comforts com-forts and tho shortened talo of hopes. -Martlncau. |
