March 8 Dr. John Fothergill born 1712. C. P. Cranch born 1813. Anna Letitia Barbauld died 1825. O boundless self-contentment voiced In flying air-born bubbles! O joy that mocks our sad unrest, And frowns our earth-born troubles! The life that floods the happy fields With song and light and color, Will shape our lives to richer states And heap our measures fuller. --C. P. Cranch. One may secure and preserve that repose in the turbulence of a great city--as Shakespeare surely found and preserved it in the London of the sixteenth century. For repose does not depend on external conditions; it depends on sound adjustment to tasks, opportunities, pleasures, and the general order of life. --Hamilton Mabie. That we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in godliness and gravity. --1 Timothy 2.2. Gracious Father, help me to understand that peace cannot abide in misery, nor can it stay with every mood. May I be able to overcome the depression that may keep me in sadness and isolation, and have delight in the gladness of friends, and live in the peace of strong resolutions. Amen.
