(ST/^ E that loveth much must weep much; much love and much sorrow must go together in this vale of tears. Of times tears are the index ot strength. There are periods when they are the noblest thing in the world. The tears of penitents are precious; a cup of them were worth a king’s ransom. It is no sign of weakness when a man weeps for sin; it shows that he hath strength of mind; nay, more, that he hath strength imparted by God, which enables him to forswear his lusts and overcome his passions, and to turn unto God with full purpose of heart.
