Treats of Altered Circumstances and Blue-Ribbonism.
Once again we return to the great city, and to Mrs Frog’s poor lodging1.
But it is not poor now, for the woman has at last got riches and joy—such riches as the ungodly care not for, and a joy that they cannot understand.
It is not all riches and joy, however. The Master has told us that we shall have “much tribulation2.” What then? Are we worse off than the unbelievers? Do they escape the tribulation? It is easy to prove that the Christian3 has the advantage of the worldling, for, while both have worries and tribulation without fail, the one has a little joy along with these—nay4, much joy if you choose—which, however, will end with life, if not before; while the other has joy unspeakable and full of glory, which will increase with years, and end in absolute felicity!
Let us look at Mrs Frog’s room now, and listen to her as she sits on one side of a cheerful fire, sewing, while Hetty sits on the other side, similarly occupied, and Matty, alias5 Mita, lies in her crib sound asleep.
It is the same room, the same London atmosphere, which no moral influence will ever purify, and pretty much the same surroundings, for Mrs Frog’s outward circumstances have not altered much in a worldly point of view. The neighbours in the court are not less filthy6 and violent. One drunken nuisance has left the next room, but another almost as bad has taken his place. Nevertheless, although not altered much, things are decidedly improved in the poor pitiful dwelling7. Whereas, in time past, it used to be dirty, now it is clean. The table is the same table, obviously, for you can see the crack across the top caused by Ned’s great fist on that occasion when, failing rather in force of argument while laying down the law, he sought to emphasise
