“From every sorrow you receive in a spirit of Christian resignation, from every pain you bear patiently, from every great trial you bravely meet, there silently passes to those about you strength, and comfort, and encouragement.”

S. A. SMITH

“Oh, fear not in a world like this,
And thou shalt know ere long,
Know how sublime a thing it is
To suffer and be strong.”

LONGFELLOW

“There are in this world blessed souls whose sorrows spring up into joys for others; whose earthly hopes, laid in the grave with many tears, form the seed whence spring healing flowers and balm for the desolate and the afflicted.”

Mrs H. B. STOWE
