in Signs of the Times, vol.25 no.12, (Jun. 1857)
THIS EARTHLY BALL has made another annual circuit, during
which time the children of God have passed through many
scenes; to some of joy, while others have drank of the bitter
streams, and tasted the worm wood and the gall; but with all
these things they are made to rejoice in the King of Israel, who
worketh all things after the counsel of his own will. Knowing
that all things work together, for good to them who are called of
God, not according to their works, but according to his grace
and mercy, by which they are saved. Among other precious
privileges, we are made to rejoice that there is a medium of correspondence
for the children of God to tell to each other their
joys, sorrows, and their varied trials. |
