ABOUT THIS EPISODE
By George Matthew Adams
"Truth crushed to earth shall rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, writhes with pain, And dies among his worshippers."
William Cullen Bryant
I learned these lines when but a boy. They made a great impression on me. They have inspired me a thousand times. They have taught me that only one thing is permanent — the thing that is right and good.
There is always one consolation, even in utter failure, to a man of spirit, and that is that such a failure is but temporary. The lower such a man is thrown into failure, the higher he may aspire to climb.
And the longer one trains and prepares, the mightier is one's strength.
My friend, do they tell you that you are "down and out"? Prove to them that you may be down — but out — never!
Rise again, over the dead past, with your mistakes as the ladder-rounds upon which you climb to a higher goal. Honest effort is eternal.
At the very moment you feel tempted to quit— don't. For that is the point at which you should determinedly decide to begin again. Rise again, my friend, rise again.
A great spirit never can be beaten. Many an iron soul has been broken, only to be molded anew into something greater and stronger than before.
Suppose you are "kicked down." Smile! Then — rise again!
