Which steadfast faith bestows;
With God our friend, we would be safe
Were all the world our foes!
Faith but the duty sees,
Where doubt would danger scan:
’Tis through the fear of God alone
We crush the fear of Man!
CHAPTER XI.

“An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.”—Prov. xxix. 22.
