and very little different from becoming a parcel.--RUSKIN. To roam giddily, and be everywhere but at home, such freedom doth a banishment become.--DONNE. The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.--DR. JOHNSON. He travels safest in the dark who travels lightest.--CORTES. Usually speaking, the worst-bred person in company is a young traveler just returned from abroad.--SWIFT.

Trust with a child-like dependence upon God, and you shall fear no evil, for be assured that even "if the enemy comes in like a flood" the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
