I said to him, "Good man, what is it you are lifting?"

"I am going to lift and carry your sorrows," said he. "Try it thyself,"

he said; "with all thy might, lift and carry."

Then did I answer Him, for I knew Him, "Lord, I am so poor, I have no

strength."

And He answered me, "So did I teach My disciples. I said, 'Blessed are

the poor in spirit.'"

And my soul spake to Him, and I said, "O Lord, it is Thyself. Turn Thou

Thy face to me that I may know Thee."
