"THE SET OF THE SAIL"

We're sailing DER life's ocean today
Our Pilot is always safe.
He holds the helm and knows the
way,
In Him we sail by faith.
It's not the way the wind may blow,
But the way we set the sails;
The wind that fills our sails we
know
Is that which never fails.
The rocks and shoals line the way,
While sailing in the bark;
The Master is near; lie hears us
pray,
And lights the sea when dark.
Daniel ]. Given.
The "Set of the Sall'' is the theme
for Kent County Young Peoples
Conference, held Saturday, March
