"Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward." -EX. xiv. 15.
"No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
-LUKE ix. 62
BE trustful, be steadfast, whatever betide thee,
Only one thing do thou ask of the Lord,-
Grace to go forward wherever He guide thee,
Simply believing the truth of His word.
-ANONYMOUS
THE soul ceases to weary itself with planning and foreseeing, giving itself to God's Holy Spirit within, and to the teachings of His providence without. . . . He is not forever fretting as to his progress, or looking back to see how far he is getting on; rather he goes steadily and quietly on, and makes all the more progress because it is unconscious. So he never gets troubled and discouraged; if he falls he humbles himself, but gets up at once, and goes on with renewed earnestness.
-JEAN NICOLAS GROU
