A LAND OF PROMISE! 



THE land of milk and honey was not a free gift to a most favored 

 nation. It was a land promised to those who were willing to 

 work long and bitter hours through the years against almost hope- 

 less odds. But more than work, it required faith of an unfaltering 

 kind ; faith to escape the land of oppression ; to cross a swollen sea ; 

 to follow a leader whose only defense against countless numbers 

 was a sublime faith. 



And then it took forty years, of one of the earliest recorded de- 

 pressions, in a searing desert to build that faith strong enough for 

 what? To have the promised land handed out on a silver platter? 

 No! To have merely the privilege to fight for it; to push their 

 way across it foot by foot; to possess it by the exercise of more 

 faith. 

 Until discouragement is conquered by faith, the depression will still be with us. Faith 

 will lighten the labors that seem at times to lead us only farther from the promised land of 

 ease and plenty. It will show us new ways, new methods of making those labors pay. Faith 

 alone will sustain us until we are worthy to reap the rewards that lie ahead no less surely 

 now than they did many thousand years ago.
