Truth always on the
scaffold—
Wrong always on the throne?

See below for the full poem

Remember!
Gods People have always been a
small minority on this earth.


Beware the
'Popular Movements'
God's Word says:
"All the World wondered after the BEAST!"
And "All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are NOT
written in the BOOK OF LIFE!! see Rev.13

Psalms 91
"FOR HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER
THEE
TO KEEP THEE IN ALL THY WAYS!"
DECIDE:
Words: James Russell Lowell, in the Boston Courier,
December 11, 1845.
Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some great decision, offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever, ’twixt that darkness and that light.
Then to side with truth is noble, when we share her
wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and ’tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses while the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied.
By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, Thy
bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Calv’ries ever with the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties, ancient values test our youth;
They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth.
Though the cause of evil prosper, yet the truth
alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold, and upon the throne be wrong;
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above His own.
