Child of sickness and pain!',

Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR

---

Child of sickness and pain! whose eyes for long 
weeks have been unable to endure the garish 
sunlight, by whose sleepless pillow the dim lamp 
has been flickering with weary monotony, be still! 

God has His own methods of mysterious dealing 
and discipline. He can make that chamber of 
suffering a Bethel. A ladder is oft times there 
set between earth and heaven, traversed by the 
angels Faith, Resignation, Hope, and Peace.
