The Soldier Is Summoned To

Let Thy Hope Of Heaven Master Thy Fear Of Death. Why Shouldst Thou Be Afraid To Die, Who Hopest To Live By Dying!

Few Are Made Better By Prosperity, Whom Afflictions Make Worse.

Thou Hast No Life To Lose, Because Thou Hast Given It Already To Christ, Nor Can Man Take Away That Without God's Leave.

Furnish Thyself With Arguments From The Promises To Enforce Thy Prayers, And Make Them Prevalent With God. The Promises Are The Ground Of Faith, And Faith, When Strengthened, Will Make Thee Fervent, And Such Fervency Ever Speeds And Returns With Victory Out Of The Field Of Prayer. The Mightier Any Is In The Word, The More Mighty He Will Be In Prayer.

Compare Not Thyself With Those That Have Less Than Thyself, But Look On Those That Have Far Exceeded Thee.
