Trial a Source of Fruitfulness
James 1:12
Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life…


After a forest fire has raged furiously, it has been found that many pine-cones have had their seeds released by the heat, which ordinarily would have remained unsown. The future forest sprang from the ashes of the former. Some Christian graces, such as humility, patience, sympathy, have been evolved from the sufferings of the saints. The furnace has been used to fructify.
