again. You left vour heart there
The white snow Of death covered ali
the garden. You listen for the speak
ing Of voices that will never be heard
again, and the sounding Of feet that
will never move in your dwelling again,
and there is a heavy, leaden pressure
on your heart. God has dashed out the
light of your eyes, and the heavy spirit
that that woman carried out of the
gate Of Main is no heavier than yours.
And you open the door, but he comes
not in. And you enter the nursery,
but she Is not there. And you
sit at the table, but there is a vacant
chair next to you. And the sun does
not shine as brightly as 1t used to, and
the voices Of affection do not strike
YOU with SO quick q thrill, and your
cheek has not 30 healthy a hue, and
your eye has not 30 deep a fire. Do l
not know? Do we not all know? There
is an uplifted woe on your heart. You
have been out carrying your loved one
beyond the gate Of the city Of Main.
But look yonder. Some one stands
watching. He seems waiting for YOU.
As O come up He stretches out His
hand of help. His voice is full of ten.
derness, vet thrills with eternal
strength. Who is itp The very one
who accosted the at the gate
of Main, and He saws: .sWeep not"
Perhaps It is a worse grief than that.
It may be q living home trouble that
you cannot speak about to your best
friend. 1t may be some domestic un
happiness. It NAV be an evil suspi
