We are not here to play, to dream to drift; We have hard work to do and loads to lift; Shun not the struggle, face it, 'tis God's gift. Be strong, be strong, be strong!
Say not the days are evil--who's to blame? And fold the hands and acquiesce--O shame! Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name. Be strong, be strong, be strong!* MALTBIE DAVENPORT BARCOCK(1858-1901)
"If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of The Lord has spoken. ISAIAH 1:19-20
