into the tongue of the soldier, the legend God
with u.s.?
God with us"-on1y three short words, three
syllabes only merely nine small letters-and yet
if anyone could tell the story of this legend, it
would be a long and glorious tale. Who could
name the places which these three words are
inscribed? They are engraved every Prussian
tha1er gratefully confessing: Il come from the
hand of God-the blessing of God is all in all"

answering to the question: &" How hast thou been

And thou-wouldst thou go through life as if
there was no Lord in Heaven? Wouldst turn thy
back Him, as if He did not concern thee? Wouldst
only in cursory way lift up thine eyes to Him
from time to time, and thoughtlessly utter His

No! If thou earliest thy heart in the right place.

faithfulness, then reply to the devoted promise of

words expressing the fullness of thy faith 1.-The
Lord of hosts is with US "

conquer human soul and become the most thorough
confession of its faith; wherever a human heart
stands on and lives in this conviction: God is
with me- His clear paternal eye guardeth me during
each second of my life; His strong paternal hand
uphodeth the ways of my life; His faithful
