"Quiet and sincere sympathy is often the most welcome and efficient consolation to the afflicted. Said a wise man to one in deep sorrow, "I did not come to comfort you; God only can do that; but I did come to say how deeply and tenderly I feel for you in your affliction". Tryon Edward
Is it wrong of me to wish this for my child? Not deep sorrow but for my daughter to dedicate herself to a life of quiet and sincere sympathy, to feel deeply and tenderly and to bring the message that God can comfort. I think there is no nobler life to lead than this. Whether it is wrong to wish it or not, I do.
