Our Consolation.

How blessed is it that there is some
real refuge Of comfort for us in the
midst Of our distresses; some real vic.
tory for us over those troubles that
annoy and hinder and grieve. There
are many beautifr. things in this
world; many very sweet joys in this
life; and the last Of all men would /
be to belittle whatever there is abroad
which is gladsome. But after all,
this of ours is a troubled realm. It is
a tear-land. Before us are disap-
pointments, behind us are sorrowful
memories, and anguishes and agonies
keep us company as we Journey along
on our pilgrim way. More than these,
however, are the consultations and en-.
couragements and recompenses. And
should all else fail us, there is the
great assurance. bright and shining
as the sun, and more precious than
thousand worlds. In my Fathers
house are many mansions; If It we're
not SO, would have told you. I GO
to prepare a place for you."-F. A.
