Let bygones be bygones.

Faith is like a lily, lifted high and white.

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.

O Lord, who art our guide even unto death, grant us, I pray Thee, grace to follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest. In little daily duties to which Thou callest us, bow down our wills to simple obedience.

Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.

And may you happy live, And long us bless.

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