Words of Cheer for the Tempted, the Toiling, and the Sorrowing

As we pass on our way through the world, we find our paths now smooth and flowery, and now rugged and difficult to travel. The sky, bathed in golden sunshine to-day, is black with storms tomorrow! This is the history of every one. And it is also the life-experience of all, that when the way is rough and the sky dark, the poor heart sinks and trembles, and the eye of faith cannot see the bright sun smiling in the heavens beyond the veil of clouds. But, for all this fear and doubt, the rugged path winds steadily upwards, and the broad sky is glittering in light. Let the toiling, the tempted, and the sorrowing ever keep this in mind. Let them have faith in Him who feed the young lions, and clothes the fields with verdure--who bind up the broken heart, and give joy to the mourners. There are Words of Cheer in the air! Listen and their melody will bring peace to the spirit, and their truths strength to the heart.
