JULY TWENTY-NINTH Andrew Marvell died 1678. William Wilberforce died 1833. Dr. Thomas Dick died 1857. I wrestle not with rage While fury's flame doth burn; It is vain to stop the stream Until the tide doth turn. But when the flame is out And ebbing wrath doth end I turn a late enraged foe Into a quiet friend. --Robert Southwell.   If I can lend A strong hand to the fallen, or defend The right against a single envious strain, My life though bare Perhaps of much that seemeth dear and fair To us on earth, will not have been in vain. --Unknown.   A friend loveth at all times; And a brother is born for adversity. --Proverbs 17. 17. Gracious Father of us all, if I may have cause to be provoked to-day, help me to rise above my angry passions, and not from weakness plunge into that for which I may be sorry. Make me self-forgetful, that I may be willing to make peace with those whom I may have displeased. Amen.
