Joy in Life's Hard Times

We will have our sunrise, our meridian noon, and then the setting in the west. We will have our sweet dawnings of better days, our Reformations, our Martin Luthers, and our John Calvins. We will have our bright full noontide when the gospel is fully preached and the power of God is known, and we will have our sunset of ecclesiastical weakness and decay. But just as sure as the evening tide seems to be drawing over the church, at evening time it shall be light.
