Fellow-pilgrims, fellow-sufferers, fellow-travellers they _must be_; but what an unspeakable joy is it when they are also fellow-helpers, fellow-labourers, fellow-heirs, fellow-citizens! * * * * * ‘O happy house, where man and wife are one, Thro’ love of Thee, in spirit, heart, and mind; Together joined by holy bands, which none, Not death itself, can sever or unbind; Where both on thee unfailingly depend, In weal and woe, in good and evil days, And hope with Thee eternity to spend; In sweet communion and eternal praise.’ II. Christian friends. 2 Cor. i. 24. Rom. xvi. 3. What comfort and _help_ may be derived from the visits, counsels, and sympathy of a Christian neighbour, a kind and devoted district visitor, or minister. Especially may Christian friends help each other by _prayer_. 2 Cor. i. 11. Jam. v. 16, 18. Matt. xviii. 19. How valuable is a Prayer Union, such as we have connected with our Mothers’ Meeting. III. But lastly remember that these ‘helps’ are worth nothing unless you have _the Lord for your Helper_. Ps. liv. 4. Heb. xiii. 6. Exod. xviii. 4. He is different to any earthly helper, for He is a Helper at all times, and in all circumstances. In trouble. Ps. xlvi. 1. To the widow. Ps. lxviii. 5. To the fatherless. Ps. x. 14. Take, therefore, this short prayer and use it in your daily life, ‘Lord, be _Thou_ my helper.’ Lift up this prayer in the midst of your work—of temptation—of trial, and you will be enabled to add, ‘My heart trusted in Him, and _I am helped_!’ Ps. xxviii. 7. XXV. TEACH YOUR CHILDREN. A mother may not have much time for instruction, or be very capable of teaching, but she should make it her daily duty to give her children some instruction in the Scriptures. She may know but little herself, but let not this discourage her; for in watering others she shall herself be watered. Prov. xi. 25. I. Teach, seeking the help of the Holy Spirit. Isa. liv. 13. John, xvi. 13. Luke, xii. 12. Job, xxxvi. 22. Ps. xciv. 12. II. Teach in the spirit of prayer. Eph. vi. 18, 19. Remembering these words, ‘Without Me ye can do nothing.’ John, xv. 5. III. Teach, leaning on the promise. Isa. lv. 10, 11. Eccles. xi. 1, 6. IV. Teach, expecting a result. Ps. cxxvi. 6. Prov. xxii. 6. Gen. xviii. 19. 2 Tim. i. 5; iii. 15. XXVI. THE PARTING PLACE, AND THE MEETING PLACE. The following circumstance took place not long after the last meeting. Two mothers, who were both present at the Class, about a fortnight after met in the Cemetery, sorrowing at their children’s graves. Each had during that interval lost a child, but not having heard of each other’s trouble, the meeting was unexpected. On this occasion the following subject was taken. I. The parting place—the child’s death-bed. This is, 1. A parting place.
