The Empty Hopper

“The inijid is like a mill: when it wajiteth corn it grindeth upon itself. And this is the cause of much of the mental depression which afflicts mankind; many people have nothing to think of outside of themselves, and so their thoughts prey upon their own hearts. Occupation is the remedy for many an internal sorrow. The study of the Scriptures would prevent brooding over imaginary ills. Try it, good friend, and see! Fill the hopper of thy mind’s mill with holy instruction, and thou shalt get for thyself good corn instead of wear and tear and grit.
