BE Equal TO THE CRISIS. When a
crisis befalls you, and the emergency re-
quires moral courage to meet it, be equal
to the requirements of the moment, and
rise superior to the obstacles in your path.
The universal testimony of men, whose ex-
perience exactly comedies with yours. furn-
ishes the consoling reflection that difficult
ties may be ended by opposition. There
is no blessing equal to the stout heart. The
magnitude of danger needs nothing more
than greater effort than ever at your
hands. If you are recreant in the hour of
trial, you arc the worst of recreants, and
deserve no compassion. Be not dismayed
or unnamed when you should be bold,
daring, unhinching, and resolute. The
cloud whose threatening murmurs you hear
with fear and dread, is pregnant with
blessing, and the frown, whose sternness
now makes you shudder and tremble, will,
ere long, be succeeded by a smile of be-
witching sweetness aud benignity. Then
be strong and manly, oppose equal force
to open difficulties, keep firm reliance in
your ability to overcome the obstacles, and
trust in Providence.
