For all your days prepare, And meet them ever alike: When you are the anvil, bear-When you are the hammer, strike.

For all your days be prepared, and meet them ever alike. When you are the anvil, bear - when you are the hammer, strike.

The open street, like the open sea, is an inviting thing to the mind of man. It is one of the few places where all may meet as equals under sun or rain; but only a John Bunyan could adequately portray the danger of the cities with their pitfalls for the young unguarded feet.

Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.

Fight ever on: this earthly stuff
If used God’s way will be enough.
Face to the firing line o friend
Fight out life’s battle to the end.

One soldier, when the fight was red,
Threw down his broken sword and fled.
Another snatched it, won the day,
With what his comrade flung away.

He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic , rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him In !
