Serfdom and beggardom to Satan?',

Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR

---

You have often seen, in the sky of opening summer, 
the struggle between sun and cloud. One or other 
comes off at last victorious. Is it to be sun or cloud 
with you? Is the higher or lower nature to conquer? 
Is it to be the ground turned into a crop of noxious 
weed—the thorn and the thistle? or that which gives 
birth to fragrant flower and golden grain? Is the 
future to be purity or passion, loyalty to God or 
serfdom and beggardom to Satan?
