One day in the country Is worth a month in town

Were there no God, we would be in this glorious world with grateful hearts, and no one to thank.

My heart is like a singing bird.

To me it seems our duty towards the Bible is to obey its teaching in faith. I do not think we are bound to understand or account for all its utterances.

For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather.

I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say, 'Where? What?' and turn away.

Why one day in the country Is worth a month in town; Is worth a day and a year Of the dusty, musty, lag-last fashion That days drone elsewhere.
