rvative from evil.--DR. JOHNSON. God planted fear in the soul as truly as He planted hope or courage. Fear is a kind of bell, or gong, which rings the mind into quick life and avoidance upon the approach of danger. It is the soul's signal for rallying.--BEECHER. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.--1 JOHN 4:18. Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt.--GEORGE SEWELL. Fear not; for I am with thee.--ISAIAH 43:5. FIDELITY.--To God, thy country, and thy friend be true.--VAUGHAN. He who is faithful over a few things is a lord of cities. It does not matter whether you preach in Westminster Abbey or teach a ragged class, so you be faithful. The faithfulness is all.--GEORGE MACDONALD.

Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.--CICERO.

Flatterers are the worst kind of enemies.--TACITUS. It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour the dead only, these the living.--ANTISTHENES. Nothing is so great an instance of ill-manners as flattery.--SWIFT. Men find it more easy to flatter than to praise.--JEAN PAUL.
