The Parting

WHAT a sad picture we have this week. Most of our young readers will know what a sad thing it is to part with loved ones during these past days of war and pestilence, and especially so, when loved ones leave and we do not expect to see them again here on this earth. Does it not speak to us that we should seek a better country where Good-byes will never be? ‘How thankful we should be that such a place is prepared for all those who have learned to trust the Lord Jesus as their own Say* four, for He has said,
“I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS: I WILL COME TO YOU.” John 14:1818I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:18).
Does not that cause your young hearts to love Him more, the One who has died for you that you might live with Him forever? Even now He knows all about our sorrows and sympathizes with us in them, and would have those of us who are Christians listen to what His blessed Holy Spirit would teach us of the Lord Jesus, that we may be “strong in the Lord.”
