"My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest" (Ex 33:14).

Thou hast not gone this way before. But there is love about thee still. Go where thou mayest, there is the air; go where thou mayest, there is thy Father's love. Thou art going home, perhaps to bed, not to rise from it for some months. Thou hast no apprehension just now of what lies before thee. It is as well thou shalt not know. Trouble not thyself about the morrow. If thou art to be sick, if thou art to die, thy Father's love will be still with thee. Therefore go on:fear not; He cannot, will not turn away from thee. An omnipresent God means omnipresent love, and omnipotence will go with omnipresence. C. H. SPURGEON.

" I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chattered all the way,
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And never a word said she.
But oh, the lessons that I learned
When Sorrow walked with me."
