To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Christian, however, has no such internal controversy — no warring of conflicting elements, to wreck his soul. He may weep, and he will weep, for God forbids not this relief for suffering nature, and " Jesus wept" — but they will be the tears of affection over the legitimate objects of its love, and the tears of peni- tence over sins that merited the stroke — and afterwards tears of grat- itude over sins forgiven, and a heart sanctified, and numberless mer- cies spared, and brighter hopes of... heaven, and glorious anticipations of a joyful re-union in the spirit land. Let the infidel court relief by suicide in the mysterious darkness of the sepulchre, if he will. I wonder why he does not always; but let the Christian, penetrating by faith the midnight which has lowered above him at midday, dwell in the light wherewith God " doth clothe himself as with a garment," and exclaim, " though he slay me yet will I trust in him." His faith has filled up the void which lies beyond all second and guilty causes, and connected them with that Great First Cause "of whom and to whom, and through whom are all things, to whom be glory forever and ever, amen." True, very true, he may not now be able to perceive the reasons which actuated the Divine Mind, in the permission of the events which have blighted and crushed his fondest hopes — but he hears a voice saying, " What thou knowest not now thou shalt know hereaf- ter ;" and that voice hushes his soul into peace, as it once hushed the sea of Galilee into repose.
