7. To fall into the hands of an evil
generation, so as to be polluted by their influence, is an evil to be dreaded
beyond measure; but it is an evil foreseen and provided for in the text. In
life many a saint has lived a hundred years before his age, unreverenced and
misunderstood, and as generations come and go, upon a sudden the hero is
unearthed, and lives in the admiration and love of the excellent of the earth.
It should be our daily prayer that we may rise above our age as the
mountaintops above the clouds. Eternal Spirit, fulfill in us the faithful
saying of this verse! Our faith believes those two assuring words, and cries, Thoushalt.
