FEAR OF GOD

Of all the memorials found in Westminster Abbey, there is not

one that gives a nobler thought than the life lesson from the

monument to Lord Lawrence. Simply his name and date of his

death, and these words: “He feared man so little because he

feared God so much.” Here is one great secret of victory. The

prayer of the Rugby boy, John Laing Bickersteth, found locked up

in his desk after his death, was: “Oh God, give me courage that

I may fear none but thee.” (Text.)
