Pay as little attention to discouragement as possible. Plough ahead as a steamer does, rough or smooth rain or shine. To carry your cargo and make your port is the point.

Our business in life is not to get ahead of other people, but to get ahead of ourselves.Maltbie Davenport Babcock
Be strong we are not here to play, to dream, to drift, we have hard work to do and loads to lift, shun not the struggle, face it, tis gods gift. Be strong say not the days are evil whos to blame And fold your hands and acquiesce o shame Stand up, speak out, and bravely in gods name. Be strong It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong. How hard the battle goes, the day, how long Faint not, fight on Tomorrow comes the song.

This is my Father's world, And to my list'ning ears, All nature sings, And round me rings The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world, I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas - His hand the wonders wrought. This is my Father's world, The birds their carols raise, The morning light, The lily white, Declare their Maker's praise. This is my Father's world, He shines in all that's fair In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me ev'rywhere. This is my Father's world, O let me ne'er forget That though the wrong Seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This my Father's world, Why should my heart be sad The Lord is King - Let the heavens ring God reigns let the earth be glad. Amen.

Good habits are not made on birthdays, nor Christian character at the new year. The workshop of character is everyday life. The uneventful and commonplace hour is where the battle is lost or won.

Present suffering is not enjoyable, but life would be worth little without it. The difference between iron and steel is fire, but steel is worth all it costs.

The tests of life are to make, not break us. Trouble may demolish a man's business but build up his character. The blow at the outward man may be the greatest blessing to the inner man. If God, then, puts or permits anything hard in our lives, be sure that the real peril, the real trouble, is that we shall lose if we flinch or rebel.
