Be faithful At toil or rest!\r\nWhate'er it be, never doubting God's way is best.\r\nOut in the fight or on picket, Stand firm and true;\r\nThis is the work which your Master Gives you to do. --Selected.\r\nSafely we may leave the crowded meeting, the Inspiring mountain\r\ntop, the helpful fellowship of \"just men,\" and betake ourselves to\r\nour dim homely Emmaus, or to our dread public Colossae, or even to our far Macedonia in the mission field, quietly confident that just\r\nwhere He has placed us, in the usual round of life, He ordains that\r\nthe borderland may be possessed, the victory won. --Northcote Deck",1783499793136]
