Cause of the Sorrow of the World.

So often we lose real happiness by grasping at some transitory source of pleasure which

may lead to sin and so to sorrow. For let us remember that the great cause of the sorrow of the world is sin. And sin brings sorrow not only to the sinner but to many others. Often the sin of one will bring sor-Now row to a whole family and even to many outside the family, and so will banish the joy. which God's presence ought to impart. constant realisation of the presence of God is the strongest antidote against in.
