6. Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well. The happy pilgrims found refreshment even in the dreariest part of the
road. As around a well people meet and converse cheerfully, being refreshed
after their journey, so even in the vale of tears the pilgrims to the skies
find sweet solace in brotherly communion and in anticipation of the general
assembly above, with its joys unspeakable. Probably there is here a local
allusion, which will never now be deciphered, but the general meaning is clear
enough. There are joys of pilgrimage which make people forget the discomforts
of the road. Christian converse and the joy of united worship make many duties
easy and delightful which else had been difficult and painful.
