all; but it’s most fo’ de sunshine dat I stays out here. O, God’s
sunshine’s a powerful blessin’, dear. When I’s cold I comes out and
sits in it, and I grows warm; when I’s hungry, and Jim’s wife’s got
nothin’ to eat, I comes out here and ’pears like I’d had my dinner;
when I’s in pain, and ’scruciated all over wid de rheumatiz, I
comes out into the sunshine, and de pain skulks off; when Jim don’t
be good and ’pears like he was goin’ to ’struction, and my heart
is bustin’ like, I comes out and sits in God’s sunshine, and peace
comes through His beam into my soul; when old Death comes an’
star’s in my face, and say, ‘I comin’ arter ye soon, to take ye
into de dark grave,’ den I comes out into God’s sunshine, and dares
him to frighten my soul! Says I to him, ‘Ye hasn’t power in ye to
throw one shadow on to my pillow; for my blessed Jesus, de Sun of
Righteousness, He been down dar before me, and He left it full,
heaped up and runnin’ over wid God’s sunshine. I shall rest sweet
in dat warm place, for de eternal sunshine dat shall magnify and
glorify all as loves de shinin’ Jesus.”
“Auntie,” said her friend, who always felt that she could sit at
the feet of this humble saint and learn of Jesus, “that is very
lovely. But there come days when there is no sunshine—when the
clouds gather, and the rains fall, and the snows come, and the
winds blow. What do you do then?”
“O la, honey, by de time de storms come, I’ve got my soul so full
ob sunshine dat it lasts a heap o’ time. Dem times Jim scolds,
and his poor wife’s ’scouraged, and de child’n are cross, and
de stove smokes and de kittle won’t bile; but I never knows it.
God’s sunshine is in my soul, and I tries to spread it round, and
sometimes Jim’s wife feels it, and she says—oh, she’s a good
daughter-in-law—‘Long’s I keeps close to granny, ’pears like my
heart’s held up.’
“Well, well, dear, you can teach me somethin’, and ye can fetch
me nice things to make mo’ sunshine; but I can teach you what ye
never thought on—dat God’s sunshine’s ’nough for rich and poor,
and dem dat thank Him for it, and sit in it, or work in it, and
let it into dar heart, will soon go whar it’s all sunshine. Try
to make folks live in God’s sunshine, and get it into dar hearts,
honey.”—_Intelligencer._
