Agates

From the September 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


God fitteth the back to the burden; He portions each lot with great
care;
He noteth the fall of the sparrow; He numbereth every hair.
A bit of advice let me give you, and then my verses I 'll end:
You will make your own sorrows less heavy, by lightening those of your friend.

There are glimpses of Heaven granted to us by every act or thought or word which raises us above ourselves,—which makes us think less of ourselves and more of others, which has taught us of something higher and truer than we have in our own hearts.
