Dear Reader: --Have you deep, heart-breaking trouble you can hardly bear? Do you suffer cruel taunts and injuries, which bring you great grief? Oh, then, brother, amid your griefs and sobs let my heart speak to yours in tones of sympathy. My fellow traveler, weak and woun­ded and distressed, be patient; be forgiving. How blessed to feel in our hearts the sweet and holy influence or forgiveness.

Remember Daniel for his loyal prayers to God was cast into a den of lions; Joseph was left by his brethren to perish in a pit; and Jesus was crucified for His enemies. What full proof of His great love to us. "He hath made Him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." II Cor. v. 21.

So, poor, heart-broken one, in all your fiery trials, "Be of good cheer." Rest on the consol­ing words of Jesus, "Let not you hearts be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me." O poor soul, believe in Jesus, and obey Him! Yes, trust His love and power to save you.

Yours in christian bonds,

Sparta, Tex.          M.D. DENMAN
