Except A Living Man, There Is Nothing

Do Today's Duty, Fight To-day's Temptation; And Do Not Weaken And Distract Yourself By Looking Forward To Things Which You Cannot See, And Could Not Understand If You Saw Them.

Stick To The Old Truths And The Old Paths, And Learn Their Di- Vineness By Sick-beds And In Every-day Work, And Do Not Darken Your Mind With Intellectual Puzzles, Which May Breed Disbelief, But Can Never Breed Vital Religion Or Practical Usefulness.

Take Comfort, And Recollect However Little You And I May Know, God Knows; He Knows Himself And You And Me And All Things; And His Mercy Is Over All His Works.

Because I Believe In A God Of Absolute And Unbounded Love, Therefore I Believe In A Loving Anger Of His Which Will And Must Devour And Destroy All Which Is Decayed, Monstrous, Abortive In His Universe Till All Enemies Shall Be Put Under His Feet, And God Shall Be All In All.

In Proportion As Man Gets Back The Spirit Of Manliness, Which Is Self-sacrifice, Affection, Loyalty Loan Idea Beyond Himself, A God Above Himself, So Far Will He Rise Above Circumstances, And Wield Them At His Will.
