Never Think That God's Delays

To Rule One's Anger Is Well; To Prevent It Is Still Better.

Duty Performed Gives Clearness And Firmness To Faith, And Faith Thus Strengthened Through Duty Becomes The More Assured And Satisfying To The Soul.

Some Persons Are Exaggerators By Temperament. They Do Not Mean Untruth, But Their Feelings Are Strong, And Their Imaginations Vivid, So That Their Statements Are Largely Discounted By Those Of Calm Judgment And Cooler Temperament. They Do Not Realize That We Always Weaken What We Exaggerate.

The Leaves Do Not Change Color From The Blighting Touch Of The Frost, But From The Process Of Natural Decay. They Fall When The Fruit Has Been Ripened And Their Work Is Done. And Their Splendid Change Of Coloring Is But Their Graceful And Beautiful Surrender Of Life, When They Have Finished Their Summer Offering Of Service To God And Man.

He That Never Changes His Opinions, Never Corrects His Mistakes, Will Never Be Wiser On The Morrow Than He Is Today.
