This wonderful system

This wonderful system of compensations

Every shadow, has its light;

every night, has its morning;

every pang of pain, has its thrill of pleasure;

every salt tear, has its crystal beauty;

every weakness, has its element of strength;

every loss, has its gain.

So all through life, these balancings run. He is not a thoughtful or reverent observer, who has not been struck by this wonderful system of compensations found in all God's providence.

Wherever we turn we can see it — if only we have eyes to see.
