Blessed are they thay keep judgement, and he that doeth rightneousness at all time." -PS. cvi. 3.
"Thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt forget thy misery, and remembeer it as waters that pass away."
-JOB xi. 15, 16.
IN the bitter waves of woe,
Beaten and tossed about
By the sullen winds that blow
From the desolate shores of doubt,
Where the anchors that faith has cast
Are dragging in the gale,
I am quietly holding fast
To the things that cannot fail.
-WASHINGTON GLADDEN
IN the darkest hour through which human soul can pass, whatever else doubtful, this at least is certain. If there be no God and no future state, yet, even then, it is better to be generous than selfish, better to be chaste than licentious, better to be true than false, better to be brave than to be a coward. Blessed beyond all earthly blessedness is the man who, in the tempestous darkness of the soul, has dared to hold fast to these venerable landmarks. Thrice blessed is he, who, when his teachers terrifies him, and his friends shrink from him, has obstinateely clung to moral good. Thrice blessed, because his night shall pass into clear, bright day.
-F. W. ROBERTSON
