Then ti\ your eyes upon the fadeless vision of immortality, f<»i whoever has that hope* or expectation in his sotil cannot Im* baulked or daunted. Ih* live s his ho|H*s tirmh on the* -heavens; he lets the* earth roll under him. I'pon the* conflic ts and the turmoils of the* world he looks with calmness, and with the strength that (»od supplies through His eternal Son he* can “The* crumbling universe defy To quench his immortality, (h shake his trust in (iod.” —Frances E.
