WEEK 17 Faith that goes forward triumphs. ("Streams in the Desert" - February 11; p. 71)
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 Listen to the last stanza of a poem written by J. R. Miller regarding the faith of Christopher Columbus as he sailed toward the new world: Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck And peered through darkness, Ah! That night Of all dark nights! And then a speck - A light! A light! A light! A light! It grew, a starlit flag unfurled! It grew to be time’s burst of dawn. He gained a world; he gave that world Its grandest lesson: "Oh! Sail on!"
