Excerpt from Valley of Baca: A Record of Suffering and Triumph
Why the good, at times, suffer so severely, while the wicked are exempt 3 why some of them suffer so much more than others, - are facts which will find' amplest explanation In eternity's light. Is it im probable that reading such explanation, and finding such vindication of God's justice and love, will furnish much of the bliss and the reward of the saved? Until then, faith awaits with patience 'the issues of time, and, with Job, exclaims, Though he'slay me, yet will I trust in him, or, with the prophet Habakkii'k, sings: Although the fig-tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be In the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Until then, faith and reason, Scripture and experi ence, will see wism in all God's appointments, love in all life's allotments.
