Having Peace.

“We cannot have peace if we are living our own life, striving for our own will, seeking to walk in our own way. But if in very truth we have faith in our God, if we believe that he is companioning us, redeeming us, that all material things are simply the instruments preparing us for another world, that our failures here are the secret and the starting point of a grander success hereafter; if we are willing to leave the past in Ills hands because we cannot alter it, and the future because we cannot control, we may walk as He walked in the midst of tlie tempest, and go over the sea, and the sea shall not engulf us and the tempest shall not destroy us.”—Lyman Abbott.
