FAITH.

[“His purposes will ripen fast]

“His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.”

213

[“Faith is a living power from heaven]

“Faith is a living power from heaven,
Which grasps the promise God has given;
A trust that cannot be o'erthrown
Securely fixed on Christ alone.”
