Always Be Thou Prepared, And

Oh, How Swiftly The Glory Of The World Passes Away!

For The Multitude Of Worldly Friends Profiteth Not, Nor May Strong Helpers Anything Avail, Nor Wise Counselors Give Profitable Counsel, Nor The Cunning Of Doctors Give Consolation, Nor Riches Deliver In Time Of Need, Nor A Secret Place To Defend, If Thou, Lord, Do Not Assist, Help, Comfort, Counsel, Inform, And Defend.

Oh, How Great Peace And Quietness Would He Possess Who Should Cut Off All Vain Anxiety And Place All His Confidence In God.

It Is Better To Be Affected With A True Penitent Sorrow For Sin Than To Be Able To Resolve The Most Difficult Cases About It.

A Lover Of Jesus And Of The Truth Can Lift Himself Above Himself In Spirit.
