How can we overcome fear? This question was put forward by a writer in a magazine. His answer was courage--courage to take it, to meet defeat and not be defeated. But courage wears thin unless supported by something more. That something is faith. As once written, "It is finding that in God and our souls which enables us to endure and triumph over anything that life and death do to us." In the onsoing life of the world, mankind faces one crisis after another.

Facing crises has been the lot of man ever since civilization began. A man of courage and Christian faith does not despair. God has a plan for the world, and it will ultimately be realized. "We are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose."
