"If thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday; and the Lord shall guide thee continually."
-ISA. lviii. 10, 11
IF thou hast Yesterday thy duties done,
And thereby cleared firm footing fo To-day
Whatever clouds make dark To-morrow's sun,
Thou shalt not miss thy solitary way.
-J. W. VON GOETHE
O LORD, who art our Guide even unto death, grant us, I pray Thee, grave to follow daily duties to which Thou callest us, bow down our wills to simple obedience, patience under pain or provocation, strict truthfulness of word and manner, humility, kindness; in great acts of duty or perfection, if Thou shouldest call us to them, uplift us to self-sacrifice, heroic courage, latying down of life for Thy truth's sake, or for a brother. Amen.
C. G. ROSSETTI
