We have cast anchor j u*-t for a little while beside this island of a world, hut we* arc* bound for the* continent of Immortality, and -incc the ship must so soon lift its anchor, since* its gleaming sails beckon us now, e*ve*u as a friend’s hand, toward 1 under fair and mistical hon/on, let in take* on hoard a cargo that shall lx* worth something in the eotintiv where we are to s|x*ncl the longe st time.
Then ti\ your eyes upon the fadeless vision of immortality, f<»i whoever has that hope* or expectation in his sotil cannot Im* baulked or daunted. Ih* live s his ho|H*s tirmh on the* -heavens; he lets the* earth roll under him. I'pon the* conflic ts and the turmoils of the* world he looks with calmness, and with the strength that (»od supplies through His eternal Son he* can “The* crumbling universe defy To quench his immortality, (h shake his trust in (iod.” —Frances E. Willard.
