We often come across peOpls who
have been unfortunate for life. They
Have lost property. They have lost
standing in community. They have
lost their earthly loves. Some OF
them have lost even faith and hope.
Many OF them have lost what would
have made them happy by their own
foolishness- Their troubles all run
back 10 wrong decision-to one ia
tai hour. In that hour they did what
they should not have done; and all
their troubles are traceable 10 that
one event. These people write TO US
for advice, for sympathy-some Of
them from a feel:ag that they must
tell somebody. What shall We say to
them?
Tue past blunders do not kill. Past
follies do not forfeit future opporiu
mites. Colds always ready TO give
one another chance. Heaven Is never
hopeless. Il never despairs as TO
those who are cast down. God seems
to feel sure that every prodigal will
one day or another come back; and
Is more tnxious to get the best bes
On his back than 20 give him a lee
ture. God never scolds. lie forgives,
nnd that is the end of it.
III you have failed, then, IN any re-
spect, no matter from what cause, no
matter whether by little or much, do
not cloud the sky OF your future by
gloomy thoughts about IT, BE hope
ful, happy, and courageous. Old err
rors, like dead bodies, should be bur.
