The fawning that wealth commands,
the huzzas of the populace which greet
a political leader--the glory of the war

enjoyment--but il is not an enjoyment
that descends into the great deep Of the
soul. To have home in the heart Of
an obscure woman-to be borne on the
arms Of strong faith before the throne
Of mercy-to be assured that God has
made us the instrument of delivering a
soul from death, kindling anew the fires
of affection, rebuilding broken down
family altar-these are stars in the crown
of rejoicing that never grow dim-laurels
that never fade-riches that never perish.
