Faith Is Required Of Thee,

Anyone Who Thinks Hard Work Will Never Hurt You Has Never Had To Pay To Have It Done. Jesus Now Has Many Lovers Of His Heavenly Kingdom, But Few Bearers Of His Cross.

For They Truly Know Their Lord In The Breaking Of Bread, Whose Heart Within Them So Vehemently Burneth, Whilst Thou, O Blessed Jesus, Dost Walk And Converse With Them.

In Judging Others A Man Laboreth In Vain; He Often Erreth, And Easily Falleth Into Sin; But In Judging And Examining Himself He Always Laboreth To Good Purpose.

Let This Be Thy Whole Endeavor, This Thy Prayer, This Thy Desire,-that Thou Mayest Be Stripped Of All Selfishness, And With Entire Simplicity Follow Jesus Only.

Dispose Thyself To Patience Rather Than To Comfort, And To The Bearing Of The Cross Rather Than To Gladness.
