In Charles Dickens\u2019s A Tale of Two Cities<\/i>, a story of the French revolution, a grim procession of prisoners was making its way on the streets of Paris to the guillotine. One prisoner, Sidney Carton, who had once lost his soul but now had it back, was giving his life for his friend. Beside him was a young girl. They had met before in the prison, and the girl had noticed the man\u2019s gentleness and courage. She said to him, \u201cIf I may ride with you, will you let me hold your hand? I am not afraid, but I am little and weak, and it will give me more courage.\u201d<\/p>\n
So they rode together, her hand in his. When they reached the place of execution, there was no fear in her eyes. She looked up into the quiet composed face of her companion and said, \u201cI think you were sent to me by heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n
In all the dark valleys of life, God our Father, the God of all comfort, in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, is at our side.<\/p>\n
