One Cheer for the Believers

One Cheer for the Believers

God designed the program of prayer as an ‘apprenticeship’ for eternal sovereignty with Christ.-Paul E. Billheimer
                                                                                            for Ann Marcaida, Shelbia C.



i.

O Lord the humble won’t inherit earth

Unless for their humbleness they fight

Fighting fighting fighting fighting

O lord protect our meekness

O Lord protect

Fighting

ii.

Slaughtering the innocent

Washing the blood off their hands

And working for the universal brotherhood

O lord teach me to persist in my folly

To become wise

Kneel and chant

Prayer stronger than a lion

Vilest terror and sorrow vanish

As we pray

Praise the lord to the end!

Pray well, humble heart!

Our solid flesh melts and melts

Fie on the nuclear war! O, fie!

This is Satan in disguise

iii.

From the golden bough of your soul

Sing and adore Him

O Lord, gather us into the ecstasy

O, may we live like sages

Rooted in love of Jesus

This flame of love

This clearest insight

Through century after century

Our single defence against the prowling wolf

    Our only defence against violence and terrorism is singing His praises and adoring the Almighty Lord.

"The Wisest, the Brightest and the Meanest of Mankind"

Francis Bacon was not only one of the greatest writers, but also a great English statesman, philosopher  and politician. The great classical poet Alexander Pope regarded him as “the wisest, the brightest and the meanest of mankind”.  Bacon is the Father of  English essay.  His essays are famous for their wit and aphoristic style. Most of the lines from his essays have always been acclaimed as immortal quotes. For example, we may take the following lines that have become proverbs: Revenge is a kind of wild justice; which the more man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out. Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses. In charity there is no excess. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested : that is, some books are to be read only in parts,

Edmund Spenser's Pictorial Power

Bloggers Community Spenser’s masterpiece Fairy Queen is an exraordinary allegory. Dryden aptly remarks about Spenser: “ No man was ever born with a greater genius or more knowledge to support it”. He has been rightly described as the ‘poets’ poet’ as Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, Tennyson, the Pre-Raphaelites, and other numberless poets were immensely influenced by him. Spenser was able to finish only six books of the epic, though his aim was to write twelve books. Spenser’s ‘sweet melodious sound’ was admired even by Shakespeare. Wordsworth aptly described him “Sweet Spenser, moving, through his clouded heaven / With the moon’s beauty and moon’s soft pace”. Spenser was aware of twelve virtues described by Aristotle that are indispensable to make an ideal person. By what means is this attainable? This incredible task was done by Spenser in his timeless nd comprehesive creation Fairy Queen. He decided to write twelve books devoted to these ideal virtues. What a gre
