"A time to mourn." Ecclesiastes 3:4

We need indeed to mourn over our wretched hearts—that we are so carnal, so stupid, and so earthly—that we have so little power to resist our evil passions.

We need to mourn over our lightness—our frivolity—our emptiness—the things that drop from our lips—the unsteadiness of our walk in the strait and narrow path—our many declensions, backsliding's, and secret departures from the Lord.

"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4
