When Christ Lifts the Load.

When God lifts our loads he lifts us along with them. Years ago in Cleveland, 0., a shipchandler’s little boy was carrying In a big armful of wood, the burden of which was growing heavier every moment. As he neared the steep back steps, he appealed to his father: “Father, I can’t get up the steps with my load.” The father picked up his foiling little son, wood and all, and sat him safely on the porch. As he did so the thought flashed into hie mind: “Cast thy burden on the Lord, and he will sustain thee.” And so the Lord Christ not only bears our griefs and carrier our sorrows, but he lifts and carries us along with all our burdens. ■ ■ ; • A , :
