BE OF GOOD CHEER.
THE USE OF PETTY TRIALS
The little griefs, the petty wounds, The stabs of daily care—- “ Crackling of thorns beneath Uio pot’ ’ — As life’s fire burns—now cold, nowhot— How hard they are to hear! But on the fire burns, clear and still; The cankering sorrow dies : The small wounds heal; the clouds are rent, And through this shattered mortal tent Shine down the eternal skies. ■- D. M. Craik.
Mirth at the expense of right is far too dearly bought. With noiseless steps Good goes its way; The earth shakes under Evils tread: We hear the uproar, and ’tis said, The world grows wicked-er each day. But surely as the old world moves. And circles round the shining sun, So surely does God’s purpose run, And all the human race improve.
