There will be no blighting sorrow to kill the tender plants of human peace. Christ drank the cup of sorrow for the whole world, and when the earth is renewed that cup will be found empty. There shall be no more sorrow. All crying shall be hushed. There is no more common sound on earth than that of crying.
Every cry means a heart break.
Man comes into this world crying, and goes out of it very much the same way, while his whole life between is filled more or less with cries and sobs. There is the cry of torn affection and blasted hopes, the cry of suffering and death, the cry of weariness and dis ability, the cry of wrong, oppression, want, harm and danger, the cry of pain and passion, the cry of fear and strife the cry of a thousand unnamed distresses these all meet us on every breeze. The cries come from all classes and conditions of human life. Yet, this state of affairs shall not continue forever. We have the prom ise of a better day.
