As the years continued to climb forward, so did Charles’s ability to embrace suffering. He no longer resisted, but saw suffering as a comfortable companion that only nudged him towards His sweet Savior. As the crushing of a flower causes it to yield its aroma, so Charles—having endured in the long-continued illness of Susannah and his own constant pains—was able to sympathize most tenderly with all sufferers.
