The JOY of the Lord.

Some of the most precious lessons
of love and trust were taught me by
a poor invalid upon one of the first
charges to which / was sent. She
was dependent upon her friends; was
a constant rheumatic sufferer, and a
confirmed consumptiye. She was a
sanctified Scotch Presbyterian, and a
monument OF the power of Christ s
love to soothe and cheer in suffering.
While disease stuck enyenomed
fangs into her flesh her soul was ever
in a transport of joy. OH" said
she, Il have not pain or a priva-
ton, have no suffering or sorrow
but Jesus is sharer."
Surely He hath borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows; yet we did
esteem Him stricken, smitten of God,
and afflicted. But He was wounded
for our transgresslons, He was
bruised for our iniquities; the chas-
tisement of our peace was upon Him
and with His stripes we are healed. "

no resources but his salary, fell In

true; but when you married you were

smaller salary than mine. How did
you get along?' asked the young en-
sign, who thought he had made a
