There are special experiences of loneliness in every life for which Christ is needed. Youth is one of these times. Youth seems happy and light hearted. Companionships swarm all around it. But ofttimes a young person feels lonely even amid such scenes and friendships. All life is new to him. As his soul awakes a thousand questions arise demanding answer. He is in a world with a thousand paths, and he must choose in which he will walk. Everything is mysterious. There are perils lurking on all sides. Choices must be made. Lessons must be learned. All is new, and at every step the voice is heard, “You have not passed this way heretofore.” This loneliness of inexperience, when a young soul is taking its earliest steps in life, is one of the most trying and painful feelings of all the years. If Christ be not then the Companion, lonely and perilous indeed is the way. But if He walks beside the young soul in its inexperience, all is well.
