My son, be this thy simple plan:
_Fear_ God and love thy fellow-man;
Forget not in temptation’s hour
That sin lends sorrow double power:
With hand, and brow, and bosom clear,
_Fear_ God and know no other _fear_.
_Anon._
FELLOWSHIP.
Shall the throne of iniquity have _fellowship_ with thee, which frameth
mischief by a law.--Psalm xciv. 20.
Have no _fellowship_ with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove them.--Ephesians, v. 11.
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also
may have _fellowship_ with us; and truly our _fellowship_ is with the
Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.--I. John, i. 3.
We would not die in that man’s company,
That fears his _fellowship_ to die with us.
_Shakspere._
From blissful bowers
Of amaranthine shade, fountain or spring,
By the waters of life where’er they sat.
In _fellowship_ of joy.
_Milton._
The blessings which the poor and weak can scatter
Have their own season. ’Tis a little thing
To give a cup of water; yet its draught
Of cool refreshment, drained by fevered lips,
May give a shock of pleasure to the frame,
More exquisite than when nectarean juice
Renews the life of joy in happiest hours.
It is but a little thing to speak a phrase
Of common comfort, which by daily use
Has almost lost its sense; yet on the ear
Of him who thought to die unmourned, ’t will fall
Like choicest music; fill the glazing eye
With gentle tears; relax the knotted band
To know the bonds of _fellowship_ again.
_Talfourd._
O, sweet it is, through life’s dark way
In Christian _fellowship_ to move,
Illumed by one unclouded ray,
And one in faith, in hope, in love.
_Charlotte Elizabeth._
How sweet it is when friend with friend
In holy _fellowship_ can walk!
When thoughts and sympathies may blend,
And hearts be open as their talk!
Such will the preparation prove
For lasting _fellowship_ above.
_Egone._
FINISHED.
Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me saying, The hands of
Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also
_finish_ it.--Zechariah, iv. 8, 9.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is
_finished_; and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.--John, xix.
30.
As he had begun, so he would also _finish_ in you the same grace
also.--II. Corinthians, viii. 6.
He that of greatest works is _finisher_,
Oft does them by the weakest minister.
_Shakspere._
