Excerpt from The Money-Maker, Other TalesAs, while a cold, dark current is fretting underneath, the surface of a stream may be bright and placid, glassing the tranquil beauty of a summer heaven, and mirroring the glory of the silent stars, even so while the smile is on the lip, and the light word on the tongue, there may be gloom within, the heart, and a brooding tempest, in the soul - for life, too, has its under-current of thought, feeling, suffering, which are seldom, if ever, known.We are not disposed to dwell on the dark side of life's picture, and to find naught but sadness and sorrow on the earth, on the contrary, we gladly drink in every gleam of sunshine with which God brightens our daily path, and hopefully look to see a rainbow shining from every cloud. So, too, though we see many repeatedly giving way to temptation, until the power of resistance is gone, yet have we not lost our faith in human nature, for man, though "far gone from original righteousness, " still retains the impress of his origin."Trailing clouds of glory do we comeFrom God, who is our home."But to our story.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
