Add to your Faith Courage.
By Roswell F. Cottrell
THE victory is gained through faith. “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” To faith naturally succeeds courage. Courage must be tempered with knowledge and temperance. The temperate can exercise patience. Next to patience in the ascending scale, is godliness, then brotherly kindness, and last of all, charity—that love toward God and man which will fit men for the society of angels and all holy beings. Oh, to reach the top of the ladder! In order to do this, begin at the bottom, laying a good foundation in faith, a faith that will surely support true courage; and these, held fast, will insure the victory. Courage in the Lord, brother, sister, we may be victors, and the victors will receive a crown of joy that will never fade.
