Our Own Burden.

Every man hears his own burden, fights his own battles, walks In the path which no other feet have trodden. God alone knows us through and And he loves us, as Keble says, better than he knows. He has Isolated ns from all besides that he alone may have our perfected confidence, and that we may acquire the habit of looking to him alone for perfect sympathy. He will come Into the solitude in which the soul dwells and make the d&rknas bright with his presence and break the monotonous with words of love. .We have him only to speak to; he alone can understand us. He will rejoice with us when we rejoice and weep with us when we weep. The heart knoweth its own bitterness; God knows it too; and though a stranger cannot Intermeddle with Us Joy, he whose temple and dwelling place is the soul that loves him la no stranger, but the soul’s most Intimate and only friend. —-ft.
