Here is the sentiment of our mission finely expressed—
“We were not meant to plod along the earth,
Strange to ourselves and to our fellows strange.
We were not meant to struggle from our birth
To skulk and creep, and in mean pathways range;
Act! with stern truth, large faith, and loving will!
Up and be doing! God is with us still.”
The following lines will cheer many a lonely heart in its sore distress:
“Be of good courage, bear up to the end,
And on thine after way rejoicing go!
