To Benedict Arnold, dying in his garret, came a physician, who said, "Is there anything you wish ?" and heard this answer; "Only a friend." Traitors sometimes each of us also.
Traitors to our deepest convictions and our highest ideals, and in the hours when the fever of discontent burns fiercely within us, and the mind seems half-delirious in its trouble, we also ask for a friend bringing a mite of sympathy and a cup of cold water.

Let us confess it--we are all famishing for love and the kind word that says: "In your Gethsemane you are not alone." God secures for us our happiness, not through speech about the heavens and firmament, but through the comfort that comes through speech over little things.

He feeds the birds, adorns the lily, clothes the grass, numbers man's troubles.

He is the Shepherd seeking the one sheep, the father waiting for the lost son.

His kingdom is a little leaven working in the world's meal, His truth being no larger than a grain of mustard-seed.
