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.
THE SAILOR’S RESOLVE.

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