Cheering thought that spirits of bliss bend bright wings to a world such as this. They leave the sweet yays of the mansion above to breathe a message of love over our bosom. They come on the wings of the morning impatient to lead wanderers home and snatch some from life’s storm to rest in God’s arms.
