And he is wide door, high door, a palace
door, an always open door. My 4-year-old
child got hurt and did not cry until hours
after, when her mother came home, and then
she burst into fit of weeping, and some of
the domestics, misunderstanding human ma
ture, said to her, why did you not cry
before?" She answered there was no one
to cry to- Now have to tell you that
while human sympathy may be absent
divine sympathy is always accessible Give
God your love and get his love: your service
and secure help; your repentance and have
his pardon. God a friend? Why, that means
all your wounds medicated. all your sorrows
soothed and if some sudden catastrophe
should hurl you out of earth it would only
hurl you into heaven. If God is your friend,
you can not go out of the world too quickly
or suddenly, so far as your own sha ppiness is
concerned. There were two Christians last
Tuesday who entered heaven: the one was

case OF the one who went instantly was
more desirable than the one who ntered the
shining gate through long lane of insomnia
and congestion? In the one case it was like
your standing YEARLY at door, knocking
and waiting, and wondering ifit will ever
open, and knocking and waiting again,
while in the other case it was swinging
open of the door at the first touch of your
knuckle. Give your friendship to God. and
have Gods friendship for you, and even the
worst accident will be victory
How refreshing is human friendship, and
true friends what priceless treasures! When
sickness comes and trouble comes and death
comes we send for our friends first of ALL and
their appearance in our doorway in any
crisis is reinforcement, and when they have
entered we say Now it is all right!'' Oh,
what would we do without friends, family
