The Atheist Has No Hope.

The Atheist Has No Hope.

Unmixed Praise Is Not Due To Any One. It Leaves Behind A Sense Of Unreality. We Can Only Do Justice To A Great Man By A Discriminating Criticism. Hero-worship, Which Paints A Faultless Monster, Whom The World Never Saw, Is Like Those Modern Pictures Which Are A Blaze Of Light Without Any Shadow.

Conscience In The Soul Is The Root Of All True Courage. If A Man Would Be Brave, Let Him Learn To Obey His Conscience.

This Is The Way To Cultivate Courage: First, By Standing Firm On Some Conscientious Principle, Some Law Of Duty. Next, By Being Faithful To Truth And Right On Small Occasions And Common Events. Third, By Trusting In God For Help And Power.

Take Thy Self-denials Gaily And Cheerfully, And Let The Sunshine Of Thy Gladness Fall On Dark Things And Bright Alike, Like The Sunshine Of The Almighty.
