The Storms of Life

By Sam Jones

I WAS standing once with a friend on Staten Island, and he called my attention to a great storm-cloud gathering in its fury. When the lightnings began to flash and the thunders began to roll, we watched every little sailboat and rowboat and fishing-smack come hurrying to the shore, and just as the storm was bursting in its fury we saw a great old ocean steamer move out from the shore and steam out to sea right in the face of the storm. We saw her ride out to sea in safety. When the storms of life come upon us, the little fellows seek earthly shelters; but the Christian goes out on the bosom of God's love and mercy. The storms we can safely face are determined by the strength of our Christian character.—Sam Jones.
