DOUBT
Doubt steals upon the happy. heart ke night steals on the skles-blots out the light of faith until the radiant vision dies-Doubt spreads its poison through the mind, and will de- stroy at last-the future and the present and the good things of the past... Doubt the enemy of Love, then cast it out, and trust-for Doubt will kül your fairest dreams and bring them to the dust Suspicion gathers as it goes, upori its deadly way-and Life BecoMER a wilderness, unfriendly, bleak and
grey.... Look up and trust. In spite of what your hu- man eyes can see-Defy the evil powers that would destroy sweet harmony-Doubt COMES to tempt the faithful and, disturb their precious peace-the strug=" gle will continue till the game of Life shall cease.... Be not confused" with argument, look deep into your heart-Beek for the Truth within yourself, then dare to stand apart, and shield yourself with vallant faith that nöthing can assail-belleving in the promise--for His Love shall never fall.
