Be strong, and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.—Josh. i, 9.

I may not always know the way

Wherein God leads my feet;

But this I know, that round my path

His love and wisdom meet.

And so I rest content to know

He guides my feet where'er I go.

Sometimes above the path I tread,

The clouds hang dark and low;

But thro' the gloom, or thro' the night,

My heart no fear can know,

For close beside me walks a Friend

Who whispers low, "Until the end."

I may not always understand

Just why He sends to me

Some bitter grief, some heavy loss,

But though I cannot see—

I kneel and whisper thro' my tears

A prayer for help, and know He hears.

Have faith in God, think noble things of God; be sure that trust in the righteous God means the ulti- mate triumph of good over evil.
