JULY FIRST
Whoever plants a seed beneath a sod,
And waits to see it push away the clod,
He trusts in God.
More and more I see that nothing is so necessary for the religious condition of the mind as absolute simplicity. We know what we have got to do, and the only thing is to ask ourselves whether we are doing it as well as we can.
—George Frederick Watts.
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God.
—Romans 5. 1.
