DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by John @. ouInlus. the
Sunshine Man.

Light is sown for the righteous, and
gladness for the upright in heart
Ps. xcvii. 2.
Righteousness is often costly to the
man who keeps to it at all hazards, but
in the end it will bear it's own ex-
penses and return an infinite profit. A
holy life is like sowing seed; much Is
going out. and apparently it is buried
again. We are mistaken when we look
for an immediate harvest, but the error
is very natural. for 1t seems impos-
sible to bury light. Yet light is "sown,"
says the text. 1t lies latent; none can
see 1t; 1t is sown. We are quite sure
that it must one day manifest itself.
Full sure are we that the Lord has
set a harvest for the sewers Of light.
and they shall reap it, each man for
himself. hen shall come their glad
ness. Sheaves of joy for seeds Of light.
Their heart was upright before the
Lord. though men gave them no credit
for 1t, but even censured them; they
were righteous, though those about
them denounced them as censorious.
They had to wait, as h~usbandmen wait
for the precious fruits of the earth;
but the light was sown for them, and
gladness was being prepared by the
Lord of the harvest.
Courage, brothers.. We need not be
In a hurry. Let US in patience possess
our souls, for soon shall our souls pos
sess light and gladness.-C. H. Spur
geon.
