"Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." -- 6:2.Is thy cruse of comfort wasting?Rise and share it with another, And through all the years of famine, It shall serve thee and thy brother.Is thy burden hard and heavy?Do thy steps drag heavily?Help to bear thy brother’s burden; God will bear both it and thee.ELIZABETH CHARLES.However perplexed you may at any hour become about some question of truth, one refuge and resource is always at hand: you can do something for some one besides yourself. When your own burden is heaviest, you can always lighten a little some other burden. At the times when you cannot see God, there is still open to you this sacred possibility, to "show" God; for it is the love and kindness of human hearts through which the divine reality comes home to men, whether they name it or not. Let this thought, then, stay with you: there may be times when you cannot find help, but there is no time when you cannot give help.GEORGE S. MERRIAM.
