We’ll praise our living head,

And, looking back, behold the path,

Through which we have been led.

W. J. Brock.

FALL.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.—Psalm xxxvii. 23, 24.

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.—Matthew, vii. 26, 27.
