To another young Christian he said:
“One of the mottoes which I give my younger people continually is, ‘Always keep sweet whatever the experiences may be.’ Let me give this to you as the aim of your life. Always keep sweet. You have fallen into the habit of being blue sometimes. This is not a beautiful thing in life, and I am sure it only makes you unhappy and makes others unhappy. A little word of our Saviour’s says, ‘In the world ye shall have tribulations,’ but he adds, ‘In me ye shall have peace; therefore be of good cheer.’ You want to learn to trust Christ with all the affairs of your life, to let him keep you and care for you and provide for you, and shape your circumstances. If you do this, every day committing your life to God, trusting him, and then going forward in sweet confidence and joy, you may be sure of peace all the while.
“I think I have given you enough for one lesson. Please write me soon and tell me how you get on. I want to hear from you often, especially until you get well started in this new life. You have turned to me as your friend and I want to help you.”
