Middlers know success, defeat truth, error blessing and some chastening, too. The Lord is still leading molding preparing. It’s too late to quit— Besides, it isn’t His will.

Yet blessing is found in every course and each professor is there to counsel. The ancients have not discovered all the truth—far from it. The goal is in sight, the Lord is leading, blessing is sure to come.
