In an old continental town they will show you a prison in a tower,
and on all the stones of that prison within reach one word is
carved--it is, "Resist!" Years ago a godly woman was for forty years
immured in that dungeon, and she spent her time in cutting with a
piece of iron on every stone that one word, for the strengthening of
her own heart and for the benefit of all who might come after her,
"Resist!" "Resist!" "Resist!"
--J.G. Mantle.
Then Mordecai bade them return answer unto Esther, Think not with

the Jews ... and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the
kingdom for such a time as this?
--Esther 4. 13, 14.
Lord God, give me wisdom to help relieve the ignorant and suffering.
May I strive in every way to free thy people, that they may be
uplifted in the progress of life. Amen.
