For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?—Rev. VI.
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day; for there shall be no night there.—Rev. XXI.
THE POWER OF SHORT WORDS.
Think not that strength lies in the big round word,
Or that the brief and plain must needs be weak.
To whom can this be true who once has heard
The cry for help, the tongue that all men speak,
When want or woe or fear is in the throat,
So that each word gasped out is like a shriek
Pressed from the sore heart, or a strange wild note,
