The true lesson to be drawn is the plain, old one which it is never superfluous to shout into men's ears, until they have obeyed it viz., 'Set not thine heart on that which is not; and which flieth away as an eagle towards heaven. Do you, dear brother, see to it, that your roots go down through the gravel on the surface.
And it came near to midnight; and the place that the priest read was, Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day; for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noonday; and suddenly there ran as it were a shiver through his bones, and he knew that the time was come.
There follow excellent parables; as that, she gathereth strength in going; that she goeth upon the ground, and yet hideth her head in the clouds; that in the daytime she sitteth in a watch tower, and flieth most by night; that she mingleth things done, with things not done; and that she is a terror to great cities.
Yesterday was the kaiser keenest of all kings; now is he become a hunter, and horns him follow; he flieth over the broad weald; his hounds bark; he hath beside Bath his hunting deserted; from his deer he flieth, and we it shall fell, and his bold threats bring to nought; and so we shall enjoy our rights gained."
It is worthy the observing, that there is no passion in the mind of man so weak but it mates and masters the fear of death, and therefore death is no such terrible enemy, when a man hath so many attendants about him that can win the combat of him. Revenge triumphs over death; love slights it; honor aspireth to it; grief flieth to it; fear preoccupateth it.
And when He bids us, is it not a sin, an insult to Him, not to trust Him not to believe His words to us? "Put thou thy trust in the Lord, and be doing good; dwell in the land," working where He has set thee, "and verily thou shalt be fed." "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day.
A casoar, or cassowary, would, of course, be called an ostrich, and here we have for the first time in history a picturesque description of that Australasian bird. Galvano's translator says: "There is heere a bird as bigge as a crane, and bigger; he flieth not, nor hath any wings wherewith to flee; he runneth on the ground like a deere. Of their small feathers they do make haire for their idols."
'Alas! said the King, 'he has died for my sake, and he had more need of help than I. But he would not complain, his heart was so set to help me. And I should sorrow yet more if I were still to live long, but my time flieth fast.
I do not belong to those who may be asked after their Why. Is my experience but of yesterday? It is long ago that I experienced the reasons for mine opinions. Should I not have to be a cask of memory, if I also wanted to have my reasons with me? It is already too much for me even to retain mine opinions; and many a bird flieth away.
But when the firing was hottest, Kai Bok-su would repeat to his students the comforting Psalm: "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day." But in spite of his brave demeanor, the strain on the shepherd of this harassed flock was beginning to tell.
