 ' PREFACE 
 
 " I'm afraid " — how easily the phrase 
 rises to our lips ! As if life were a game 
 of chess, we fear to make a move, in 
 doubt how it will be met by another. 
 
 One moment's call within, to " Halt ! " 
 and we realize our professed faith is 
 weak, unreal. 
 
 In reading the Holy Scriptures we 
 frequently meet the command, "Fear 
 not,'* followed by comforting words of 
 strength and encouragement. 
 
 Many of these Promises and Com- 
 mands are here collected with added 
 thoughts of "living saints and dead'* 
 whose words and deeds alike challenge 
 us to fear not — for "the Sword of 
 the Spirit which is the Word of God" 
 conquers with the same power as when 
 
 first spoken. .^ w -^

 Why Live and Not Be Glorious 
 
 Life's more than breath, and the quick round 
 
 of blood, 
 'Tis a great spirit and a busy heart ; 
 The coward and the small in soul scarce do 
 
 live. 
 One generous feeling, one great thought, one 
 
 deed 
 Of good, ere night, would make life longer seem 
 Than if each year might number a thousand 
 
 days. 
 Spent as is this by nations of mankind. 
 We live in deeds, not years ; in thoughts, not 
 
 breaths ; 
 In feelings, not in figures on a dial. 
 W^e should count time by heart-throbs. He 
 
 most lives 
 W^ho thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the 
 
 best. 
 Life's but a means unto an end, — that end, 
 To those who dwell in Him, He most in them. 
 Beginning, mean, and end of all things, — God. 
 Why will we live and not be glorious ?

 Be ye not afraid, neither doubt, for 
 
 God is your guide. Eadraa xvi : 75. 
 
 Give us this day our daily bread, we

 But the Lord is my defence; and

 Paalma xciv: 22, 
 
 Thou shalt not be afraid for the ter-

 flieth by day; for the pestilence that 
 walketh in darkness; nor for the 
 destruction that wasteth at noonday, 
 
 Pamlma xci: 5*6, 
 
 Do we believe in the existence of a 
 spiritual Kingdom, a life of supernatural 
 power, the working of the laws of Life 
 that are as inevitable as they are in- 
 scrutable ? Let us live as if we believed 
 
 so. From Dear Feast of Lent Palm Sunday.

 This was the first angelic word 
 The startled shepherds heard — 
 "Fear not!" Beloved, it comes to you, 
 A celestial message sweet and true. 
 As true for you as it was for them 
 In the lonely fields of Bethlehem ; 
 As sweet today as it was that night. 
 When the glory dazzled their mortal

 With him is an arm of flesh; but 
 with us is the LORD our God to help

 // Chronicles xxxil: 8. 
 
 Courage does not consist in the ab- 
 sence of fear, but in the subjugation of 
 fear. Some of the bravest men have 
 had the most intense perception of dan- 
 ger, and the most sensible apprehension 
 of its fatal consequences.

 The Lord is my light and my sal-

 Psalms xxvii: 1, 
 
 He that abideth in Him will bring

 much fruit is Happiness. The infallible

 and the infallible receipt for doing good 
 is to abide in Christ, Drummond.

 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the

 There is no power in the world so 
 irrepressible as the power of personal 
 holiness. A man's gifts may lack op- 
 portunity, his efforts be misunderstood 
 and resisted, but the spiritual power of 
 a consecrated will needs no opportun- 
 ity, and can enter where the doors are 
 shut. Yes, in this strange and tangled 
 business of human life there is no ener- 
 gy that so steadily does its work as the 
 mysterious, unconscious, silent, unob- 
 trusive, impenetrable influence which 
 comes from a man who has done with 
 all self-seeking.

 Pamlma cxviii: 9. 
 
 It is no delusion, no dream of a hot

 Every trouble is an opportunity to 
 win the grace of strength. Whatever 
 else trouble is in the world for, it is here 
 for this good purpose: to develop 
 strength. Fortunately, every day is 
 crowded with care. Every day to 
 every one of us brings its questions, 
 its worries, and its tasks, — brings its 
 sufficiency of trouble. Thus we get our 
 daily spiritual exercise. Every day we 
 are blessed with new opportunities for 
 the development of strength of soul.

 It is thy duty to put on the new man

 Acta x: 20. 
 
 The struggle for self-mastery, the 
 desire to overcome pride and sensuality, 
 to bring rebellious passion into the sub- 
 jection of the spirit, are not things to 
 be feared. As the pine on the moun- 
 tainside has more stability than the 
 sycamore of the vale, because of the 
 tempests it has endured, so does the 
 soul attain the true fibre of Christian 
 virtue and perfection by triumphing 
 over the storms of passion and the 
 aridity of doubt.

 Zechariah x: 1^4 
 
 The healthy sense of progress, which 
 is necessary to the strength and happi- 
 ness of men, does not consist in the 
 anxiety of a struggle to attain a higher

 " See," says a keen observer, " how lit-

 Then, welcome each rebuff 
 
 That turns earth's smoothness rough. 
 
 Each sting that bids nor sit, nor stand, 
 
 but go ! 
 Be our joys three parts pain ! 
 Strive, and hold cheap the strain ; 
 Learn, nor account the pang; dare, 
 
 never grudge the throe.

 mandments : for this is the whole duty 
 
 of man. Eccleaiaates xii: 13. 
 
 There is no fear in love ; but perfect 
 love casteth out fear. ^^^^ ^^ . ^^ 
 
 The Commandments of Cxod are not 
 grievous because we have a Power 
 implanted in us mightier than all which 
 would dispute the sway of God's Com- 
 mandments and God's Love, — a Power 
 which would lift us above all hin- 
 drances, carry us over all temptations, 
 impel our listlessness, sweep with it 
 whatever opposes it — sweep with it 
 even the dullness or sluggishness of our 
 own \Vills, — the Almighty Power of 
 the Grace of God.

 The Star of the Unconquered 
 
 wm 
 
 The Star of the unconquered will, 
 He rises in my breast, 
 Serene, and resolute, and still. 
 And calm, and self-possessed. 
 
 And thou, too, whosoe'er thou art. 
 That readest this brief psalm. 
 As one by one thy hopes depart 
 Be resolute and calm. 
 
 O fear not in a worid like this. 
 And thou shalt know ere long, — 
 Know how sublime a thing it is 
 To suffer and be strong*
