God is the true object OF confidence.
But II we have not faith in ou-self. how
can we have confidence IN another.
Many a man has missed the mark OF his
high calling Just because he had not the
faith 10 venture out. Therefore. let US
cultivate our faiIh, for without faith it
IS impossible to please God. for ne that
