Just received a letter from a friend who recently suffered the loss of his dear daughter. That struck me in the heart. There are the blessings of God along the way, but largely it is a vale of weeping.
People are in pain and trouble on every hand.
We recently had the funeral of our brother Tommy Walker, and I rejoice to say of him, his faith in Christ was firm unto the end. The most profound sadness is the death of a loved one who showed no confidence in the Savior. You are walking on the brink of eternal woe and tears. How I dread to see you go without the blessed Redeemer. Yes, this is a valley of Baca.
