Do not run to this and that for comfort when you are
in trouble, but bear it. Be uncomfortably quiet--be
uneasily silent--be patiently unhappy.
J.P. GREAVES.
Hard words _will_ vex, unkindness _will_ pierce; neglect
_will_ wound; threatened evils _will_ make the soul
quiver; sharp pain or weariness _will_ rack the body,
or make it restless. But what says the Psalmist?
"When my heart is vexed, I will complain."
To whom? Not _of_ God, but _to_ God.
E.B. PUSEY.
Surely, I have thought, I do not want to have a grief
which would not be a grief. I feel that I shall be able
to take up my cross in a religious
spirit soon, and then it will be all right.
JAMES HINTON.
