FAITH

Faith is not a passive thing--mere believing or waiting. It is an active thing--a positive striving and achievement, even if conditions be untoward.

Faith is not merely praying

Upon your knees at night;

Faith is not merely straying

Through darkness to the light.

Faith is not merely waiting

For glory that may be,

Faith is not merely hating

The sinful ecstasy.

Faith is the brave endeavor

The splendid enterprise,

The strength to serve, whatever

Conditions may arise.

S.E. Kiser.
