THE BIBLE AS BUCKLER
The Bible is full of the theme of spiritual victory won, in spite of all that opposes itself to the man of nation or church called upon to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand, writes a correspondent of The Times. It has much to say of hard journeying over rough ways, but nothing of any need to turn back. There are always ample resources for him who knows where to look for them. The Bible Is no book for those who wish to find an excuse for the spirit of defeatism. None has known that better than sailors and soldiers who have given themselves to the utmost of sacrifice in the service of Britain. They are the men of whom it is no paradox to say that even when victory has been denied them they have remained undefeatable. The unconquerable spirit of Gordon at Khartoum speaks for them all.
