What a great and precious letter to the shut
ms is the Word of God. 1t is an inexhaustible
Library OF portions of comfort and consolation
Low marvelously gracious it is that God has
adapted his wonderful book to those who are
possibly forgotten by the world. The God of
all comfort knows how to reach the heart, and
to provide the truth and the promises, ON which
can be based with perfect confidence the con-
solatlons and hopes that brighten the hearts and
lives Of many who are troubled and downcast.
There are so many who are invalids, so many
IN the decline Of old age, so many that are blind,
so many without human friends; the sailor far
away from home, the prisoner in the solitude of
his cell, as well as the widow and the orphan.
Not ore has been forgotten by the Father in
heaven "
