Show misunderstood, do not weary or faint, for after the crucifixion there was the resurrection; the angel rolled back the stone, and all the darkness was swept away. <br> The completed work for good is never lost. Men may perish, their last thought being that their lives have been in vain, but the angel still stands at the sepulcher to roll back the stone, to disperse the darkness, and the good that men do lives after them. <br> You remember the old heathen story of Sisyphus, how, when he was found in lowest Hades, even as he rolled the stone, he was singing with voice triumphant as is that of the lark when she mounts on high to hail the rising sun, and when questioned he explained, that when at last he succeeded in rolling the stone over the hill, the elysion [sic] fields were just beyond and they would open to him. "But" said the questioner, "suppose you never succeed?" "Then" was the cheerful reply, "still the everlasting hope will be mine." <br> If your work does not seem to bring you reward, still keep your hopes warm, for the stone you roll will cease bounding back after awhile and the gate to the elysion [sic] fields will open to you. <br> You have a great calling. You are doing a righteous work, you have wrought many holy triumphs, more triumphs await you here, and if you will toil on unfalteringly through the heat of the noon, I bespeak for you a serene evening, a twilight that will be filled [with] warmth and calm, and the night that will follow will be radiant with stars. <br><br> --- <br><br> Published by <br> THE MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION, <br> Salt Lake City, Utah. <br><br> |
