assemblings. We must not be forgetful of God, for he is not forgetful of
us. When we lie down on our pillow at night, we ought not to close our
eyes to sleep without thanking him for his kind care of us through the
day; and in the morning we should thank him for his watchful care
through the night.

In time of sorrow and trouble we at once fly to him. This is right; but
still it is our duty and privilege to call on him in time of prosperity
as well as in time of adversity, never forgetting to seek his divine
blessing. Without this we cannot enjoy life, or be prepared for death.
And when the days on earth are all passed, and we are called to lay
ourselves on the bed of death, if we can but look back upon a life well
spent, it will smooth the pillow of pain, and make even death itself
sweet.

Salvation is the right direction of all one's powers and activities.

Hope is the sunshine of the soul.
