Confidence In Danger.

1t is impossible for one to entirely
avoid dangoS, however great the pre-
cautions taken. Fear in the presence OF
danger is not sign of cowardice, but
is often the result of previous expert
ence or may arise from natural timidity
or inherited temperament.
Insensibility to danger is not sign
of courage or Of superiority In any
sense, but may arise from lack of prop
or appreciation of the circumstances.
How shall one best face danger:
Some persons are made actually sick by
q thunder shower How can this be
overcome? Paul's method is the best.
Think of the work God has for you to
do. Rest assured of His protection till
the work is done. Fill the mind with
the assurance of His presence in all dan
ger and control of all forces material
and spiritual. Believe in Him as ever
present. Confide in Him and by heart
trust rest all fears and needs on Him.
So shall angelic visions today be given
as truly as in the olden time the apostle
was treasured and strengthened.
