 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort 
 you ; and ye shall be comfoited. Isaiah Ixvi. 13. 
 
 Like a eick child that knoweth not his mother 
 
 while she blesses, 
 And drops upon his burning brow the coolness of 
 
 her kisses. 
 That turns his fevered eyes around, my mother I 
 
 Where's my mother ? 
 As if such tender words and looks couid come 
 
 from any other ! 
 
 Elizabeth Barrett Browning. 
 
 Comfort comes to us in many ways : in the 
 peace that follows the lifting of a great anxiety, 
 in the relief on the cessation of acute pain, in the 
 calm after the storm of grief, sometimes most 
 truly in the sense of support under sorrow and 
 Buffering that makes the bearing of it possible.

 Unto Thee will I cry, O Lord my strength ; think no 
 scorn of me ; lest if Thou make as though Tliou hearest not, 
 I become like them that go down into the pit. 
 
 Psalm zxviiL 1. 
 
 *' Blest Redeemer, can one perish 
 Who has looked to Thee for aid ? 
 
 Let me see Thee, let me hear Thee, 
 Through the gloomy midnight-shade. 
 
 Let me hear Thy voice of comfort, 
 ' It is I, be not afraid.' " 
 
 The answer to our prayer sometimes seems long 
 in coming, and we begin to doubt whether God 
 really has heard, or heeded, the cry that went up 
 to Him with such passionate earnestness. Even 
 David Avas haunted by this fear ; that it was re- 
 moved for him we know, because a little farther 
 on in the same psalm he says : " Blessed be the 
 Lord, because He hath heard the voice of my 
 supplications." So if we wait patiently it will be 
 for us.

 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and 
 I will give you rest St. Matthew xi. 28. 
 
 "And whosoever cometh, 
 I will not cast him out.'* 
 Oh, welcome voice of Jesus, 
 
 Which drives away our doubt I 
 Which calls us, very sinners, 
 
 Unworthy though we be 
 Of love so free and boundless, 
 To come, Lord, to Thee. 
 
 William C. Dix. 
 
 In this sad world there ' re many who say, 
 " Who will show us any good " Most of us have 
 to labor ; all of us at times are heavy-laden. Here 
 is a promise of rest with no conditions attached ; 
 if we will come we may have it. How ? Go as 
 to an earthly friend and leave the burden and 
 claim the fulfilment of the promise. It shall be 
 yours.

 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit : a broken and a 
 contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. 
 
 Psalm li. 17. 
 
 Broken heart and downcast eyes 
 
 Dare not lift themselves to Thee ; 
 Yet Thou canst interpret sighs j 
 
 God be merciful to me. 
 From this sinful heart of mine 
 
 To Thy bosom I would flee ; 
 I am not my own, but Thine; 
 
 God be merciful to me. 
 
 J. S. B. MONSELL. 
 
 It is when we are most despondent, most tired 
 of self, most sick of failure, that we come nearest 
 to God. Casting ourselves on Him, asking only 
 a little strength to keep us from failing utterly, 
 then He gives us exceeding abundantly, more 
 than we can ask or think, and we are strengthened 
 and forgiven.

 If any man will do ITIs will, he shall know of the doc- 
 trine, whether it be of God. St. John vii. 17. 
 
 If any man will do Thy will, to him 
 Shall knowledge come, enough to guide aright. 
 It solves no suhtle problems ; these must wait 
 Another world, where faith is lost in sight. 
 
 Doing the will is of infinitely more importance 
 than knowing the doctrine. Yet some of us refuse 
 to follow God because we cannot understand all 
 the mysteries of His Word, or of His works. We 
 cannot solve the simplest problems that lie in our 
 daily path. We do not "know how the grass grows, 
 nor why the swallows migrate, and can we expect 
 to tmderstand the dealings of tlie Infinite with 
 men? Let us be more humble and apply our- 
 selves to doing our duty.

 Though He l)e not far from everj one of us. 
 
 Acts xvii. 27. 
 
 Speak to Him thou, for He hears, and spirit with 
 
 spirit can meet ; 
 Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than 
 
 hands and feet. 
 
 Alfred Tennyson. 
 
 We are too much in the habit of thinking of 
 God as if He were very far off, high in the heaven 
 above us, and having little to do with our humble, 
 daily affairs on earth. We forget that in Him we 
 live and move and have our being. That the wel- 
 fare of every immortal soul is His immediate and 
 intimate concern. That He is near enough to 
 help us in our perplexities as well as in our temp- 
 tations, if we will only ask Him. By the very 
 constitution of our being, though He is so near, 
 He cannot help us unless we ask Him.

 I am the Lord, I change not. 
 
 Malachi iii. 6. 
 
 What, have fear of change from Thee, who art 
 
 ever the same ? 
 Doubt that Thy power can fill the heart that Thy 
 
 power expands ? 
 There shall never be one lost good I 
 What was shall live as before ; 
 The evil is null, is nought, is silence implying 
 
 sound ; 
 What was good shall be good with, for evil, so 
 
 much good more ; 
 On the earth the broken arcs ; in the heaven a 
 
 perfect round. 
 
 Robert Browning. 
 
 Amid the changes and chances of this mortal 
 life we may look up to Him who changeth not, 
 with perfect confidence in His goodness and power.

 William C. Dix. 
 
 God, Who in His tender mercy sent His Son to 
 be our perfect pattern and example, will help us 
 to follow Him if we earnestly desire to do so, and 
 care enough about it to walk hj the light when it 
 is vouchsafed to us. Do we not sometimes turn 
 away and wilfull}'- follow darkness instead ?

 The Lord is my light and my salvation ; whom shall I 
 fear ? the Lord is the strength of my life ; of whom shall I 
 be afraid ? Psalm xxvii. 1. 
 
 Go forward, Christian soldier 1 
 
 Fear not the secret foe ; 
 Far more o'er thee are watching 
 
 Than human eyes can know ; 
 Trust only Christ, thy Captain ; 
 
 Cease not to watch and pray ; 
 Heed not the treacherous voices 
 
 That lure thy soul astray. 
 
 Lawrence Tuttiet. 
 
 If our eyes could be opened that we might see 
 the light surrounding us and Who is on our side, 
 we should not so often fear and be afraid of the 
 powers that are arrayed against us. Ridicule, 
 opposition, would seem too trivial to raise one 
 pang of alarm.

 Nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt. 
 
 St. Matthew xxvi. 39. 
 
 " Not as I will !" The sound grows sweet 
 Each time my lips the words repeat. 
 " Not as I will !" The darkness feels 
 More safe than light when this thought steals, 
 Like whispered word, to calm and bless 
 All unrest and all loneliness. 
 
 Helen Hunt Jackson. 
 
 We may pray, " If it be possible, let this cup 
 pass from me," if we are also ready to say " never- 
 theless." Human weakness shrinks often from 
 the stern ordeal, the pain, the loneliness, the un- 
 kindness, the putting away of self, the acceptance 
 of the cross. It is not sin to falter, if only we do 
 not turn back and choose the easier way, follow- 
 ing our own wills. Peace lies in the other road.

 There shall be no night there ; and i.iey need no candle,

 Endless noonday, glorious noonday, 
 From the Sun of suns is there ; 
 
 There no night brings rest from labor, 
 For unknown are toil and care. 
 
 Translated by John Mason Neale. 
 
 There will be no need of rest in that blessed, 
 glorious land, which is very far off and yet near 
 to every one of us. Whatever our employments 
 may be — and that all our faculties will be fully 
 employed we may be sure — they will be appor- 
 tioned to our strength and our abilities, and the 
 doing of them will be a delight, not a weariness.

 Lord, Thou knowest all things. St. John xxi. 17. 
 
 Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow 
 Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest ; 
 
 Cares of to-day, and burdens of to-morrow. 
 Blessings implored and sins to be confest ; 
 
 We come before Thee at Thy gracious word, 
 
 And lay them at Thy feet : Thou knowest, Lord. 
 
 Jane Bothwick. 
 
 It is a comfort, when we are worn with many 
 cares, that we need not tell over separately each 
 sorrow, each anxiety, to the merciful ear that is 
 ever open to us. We need only kneel and lay the 
 whole burden at His feet who has said, " I will 
 give you rest.** The worst bitterness passes away, 
 fresh strength comes, we rise strengthened and 
 comforted.

 If we could always look through the outward 
 circumstances of our daily lives and see God's 
 guiding hand, it would not be hard to submit to 
 them. It is just here that the trial of our faith 
 comes in. Our Saviour has told us the very hairs 
 of our head are all numbered ; how much more, 
 then, are these greater events controlled by the 
 loving care of our Father which is in Heaven I

 He that keepeth thee will not sleep. Psalm cxxi. 3. 
 
 He gives His angels charge of those who sleep : 
 But He Himself watches with those who wake. 
 — The Sermon in the Hospital. 
 Harriet Eleanor Hamilton Kino. 
 
 How long are the watches of the night when 
 Bleep will not come ! Instead, every vague fear 
 that has ever tormented us in daylight takes to 
 itself a body and all throng about us. Anxieties 
 press heavily ; the future looks dark indeed ; we 
 can see no way of escape from the troubles that 
 surround us. Then let us remember that the love 
 which has guarded all our lives is still watching 
 over us, unsleeping, untiring, and will never suffer 
 us to be overwhelmed.

 God is not unrighteous to forget your work. 
 
 Hebrews vi. 10. 
 
 With aching hands and bleeding feet 
 
 We dig and heap, lay stone on stone; 
 We bear the burden and the heat 
 
 Of the long day, and wish 't were done I 
 Not till the hours of light return 
 All we have built do we discern. 
 
 Matthew Arnold. 
 
 When we look back at night over the work of 
 the day, it seems such a wearisome round of 
 trivial, unimportant duties ; yet they all go to 
 making up some indispensable whole — the keep- 
 ing of a home, the care of the children whom we 
 are preparing to carry on the work of the world, 
 the unnumbered acts of service which life makes 
 necessary. If we fail in our part, something is 
 missed, is lost, which no other one can supply as 
 well. *' Drudgery is the gray angel of success."

 Your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all 
 these things. St. Matthew vi. 32. 
 
 Could we but kneel, and cast our load, 
 E'en while we pray, upon our God, 
 
 Then rise with lightened cheer ; 
 Sure that the Father, who is nigh 
 To still the famished raven's cry, 
 
 Will hear in that we fear. 
 
 Joseph Anstice. 
 
 Straitened means are a sore trial of faith. To 
 know not how the daily wants of ourselves and 
 those we love are to be provided for tries the soul 
 of the strongest. Yet David's experience has been 
 that of many and many another since his day, 
 " I have been young, and now am old, and yet 
 saw I never the righteous forsaken nor his seed 
 begging their bread." There is always a way, and 
 it opens sometimes when hope is gone. God 
 knows and does not forget.

 There is forgiveness with Thee that Thou mayest be 
 feared. Psalm cxxx. 4. 
 
 There's a wideness in God's mercy 
 
 liike the wideness of the sea ; 
 And a freedom in His service 
 
 That is more than liberty. 
 We make His love too narrow 
 
 By false limits of our own, 
 And we magnify His strictness 
 
 With a zeal He will not own. 
 
 Frederick W. Faber. 
 
 Souls require many different methods to draw 
 them to God. Some are led in one way, some in 
 another. We cannot see the guiding hand, let us 
 be very careful how we assert that it is not there. 
 He willeth not that any should perish ; we must 
 not limit His power, or His mercy, either for 
 others or ourselves. He can make all things work 
 together for good as He wills.

 O gentle Jesu, be our light. 
 
 Frederick W. Faber. 
 
 He accepts the faulty service if it is offered in 
 love, as mothers accept the little offerings of their 
 children. Their imperfections only bring a tender 
 smile of loving sympathy, a desire to help them 
 to do better, to teach them to make their work 
 more perfect. He does not need our poor service, 
 He who made all things, but He accepts and 
 blesses it if we give our hearts with it.

 None of us liveth to himself. 
 
 Romans xiv. 7. 
 
 God did anoint thee with- His odorous oil 
 
 To wrestle, not to reign ; and He assigns 
 
 All thy tears over, like pure crystallines, 
 
 For younger fellow-workers of the soil 
 
 To wear as amulets. So others shall 
 
 Take patience, labor, to their hearts and hands 
 
 From thy hand and thy heart and thy brave cheer, 
 
 And God's grace fructify through thee to all. 
 
 Elizabeth Barrett Browning. 
 
 So mysteriously are we linked with others in 
 this world of mystery that we cannot fail in our 
 duty without harming others, nor bear ourselves 
 bravely that others are not benefited. Our vic- 
 tory may mean an example that will turn the 
 scale towards good for some struggling, tempted 
 soul that else had fallen.

 When the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with 
 divers diseases brought them unto Him ; and He laid His 
 Lands on everyone of them and healed them. 
 
 St. Luke iv. 40. 
 
 O Saviour Christ, Thou, too, art man ; 
 
 Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried ; 
 Thy kind, but searching, glance can scan 
 
 The very wounds that shame would hide. 
 
 Thy touch has still its ancient power ; 
 
 No word from Thee can fruitless fall ; 
 Hear, in this solemn evening hour, 
 
 And in Thy mercy heal us all. 
 
 Henry Twells. 
 
 Our Lord did not disdain the special, personal 
 touch that conveyed healing. So He comes to us 
 still forgiving our sins, healing our infirmities, 
 giving us life.

 Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto 
 one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto 
 Me. St. Matthew xxv. 40. 
 
 Then the righteous shall make question, 
 
 " When have we beheld Thee poor, 
 Lord of glory ? When relieved Thee 
 
 Lying needy at our door ?" 
 Whom the Blessed King shall answer, 
 
 " When ye showed your charity. 
 Giving bread and home and raiment : 
 
 What ye did was done to Me." 
 
 Transiated from the Latin. 
 
 We often do nothing for the poor and needy 
 because we can do little. There is not one of us 
 so poor that he cannot give as much as the cup 
 of cold water of which our Lord deigned to speak 
 with approbation. If there is first the willing 
 mind, we shall always be able to find out ways of 
 helping our brethren.

 Let not the sun go down upon your wrath. 
 
 Ephesians iv. 26. 
 
 A love that gives and takes— that seeth faults 
 Not with flaw-seeking eyes, like needle-points, 
 But loving, kindly ever looks them down 
 With the o'ercoming faith of meek forgiveness I 
 
 James Russell Lowell. 
 
 If we have quarrelled during the day, let us 
 look back quietly at night and try to see if we 
 were not in some measure in fault. Let us resolve 
 on the morrow to acknowledge our share in the 
 transgression and try to make peace. Above all, 
 let us beware of cherishing the unforgiving spirit ; 
 let us be ready to meet advances half-way, and 
 not be discouraged if our own are rejected. Good- 
 humor is a most powerful solvent.

 I praj for them ... for they are Thine. 
 
 St. John xvii. 9. 
 
 And then for those, our clearest and our best, 
 By this prevailing presence we appeal ; 
 
 Oh, fold them closer to Thy mercy's breast! 
 Oh, do Thine utmost for their souls* true weal! 
 
 From tainting mischief keep them white and clear, 
 
 And crown Thy gifts with strength to persevere. 
 
 W. Bright. 
 
 We would give so many gifts to our beloved if 
 we had our way I Yet those gifts might only 
 work them harm. God, who is their Father as 
 well as ours, knows what is best for them, and that 
 we may ask Him to give them.

 We glory in tribulations also. 
 
 BOMANS V. 3. 
 
 Thou art gone up on high ; 
 
 But Thou didst first come down, 
 Through earth's most bitter agony 
 
 To pass unto Thy crown ; 
 And girt with griefs and fears 
 
 Our onward course must be ; 
 But only let that path of tears 
 
 Lead us at last to Thee. 
 
 Emma Toke. 
 
 We must try to rise above our tribulations; 
 mastering them, not letting them overwhelm us ; 
 knowing that they are all means to that one end 
 that is ever in view, the forming of our characters 
 for that next life, where character will mean so 
 much. Tribulation woriieth patience and finally 
 hope. We must not let despair at the means shut 
 out the end.

 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed 
 on Thee. Isajah zxvi. 3. 
 
 Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed? 
 
 To do the will of Jesus — this is rest. 
 
 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away? 
 
 In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they. 
 
 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and 
 
 ours? 
 Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers. 
 
 E. H. BiCKERSTETH. 
 
 The peace must be inward — from the mind 
 iayed on God. The surface may be ruffled by 
 outward circumstances, cares and worries, but 
 these are only passing cloud-shadows ; the deeper 
 depths are untroubled, and there we shall find 
 comfort.

 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee ; 
 and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. 
 
 Isaiah xliii. 2. 
 
 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows, 
 Paler now the glowing west, 
 
 Swift the night of death advances ; 
 Shall it be the night of rest ? 
 
 Let me hear Thy voice behind me, 
 Calming all these wild alarms ; 
 
 Let me underneath my weakness 
 Feel the everlasting arms. 
 
 C. L. Smith. 
 
 When death comes near, the interests of this 
 world fade from sight. We are conscious only of 
 the desire for rest. We seem to feel that all is 
 well; the waters bear us gently on and do not 
 overwhelm us. God Himself holds the tired hand 
 and shuts the weary eyes.

 It shall come to pass that at evening time it shall be 
 light. Zechariah liv. 7. 
 
 The day is gently sinking to a close, 
 Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows ; 
 Brightness of Thy Father's glory, Thou 
 Eternal Light of Light, be with us now : 
 Where Thou art present darkness cannot be ; 
 Midnight is glorious noon, Lord, with Thee. 
 
 Christopher Wordsworth. 
 
 When the evening of life comes and our cares 
 fold their wings and slip away, our active duties 
 grow fewer and our strength declines, there comes 
 to the penitent soul a time of peace, when the 
 light of the coming world shines on this and 
 brightens the path that leads to it.

 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done 
 the will of God, ye might receive the promises. 
 
 Hebrews x. 36. 
 
 Grow old along with* me I 
 The best is yet to be,

 Our times i ' ' His hand 
 Who saith, ** A whole I planned, 
 Youth shows but half; trust God, see all, nor be 
 afraid I" 
 
 Robert Browning. 
 
 We are often disappointed because effects do 
 not ' .. ..jdiately follow causes, because we do not 
 at nee receive the guerdon to which we think 
 ourselves in a mer ^ure entitled. We must strive 
 for patience. God wdll not forget; in His own 
 time He will abundantly perform every promise.
