"When afflictions arrest us, we shall murmur and grumble and struggle until we see that it is God that strikes."

Previous Quote

The only way to meet affliction is to pass through it solemnly, slowly, with humility and faith, as the Israelites passed through the sea. Then its very ways of misery will divide, and become to us a wall, on the right side and on the left, until the gulf narrows before our eyes and we land safe on the opposite sore.
