# The Just Shall Live by Faith

<!-- page:37 -->

JEAN CALVIN.                                      37


cided contrast     between the dirty dark, rock dwellings, some of
which are a century or more old, and the clean, new hotels with
their attractive    surroundings.               It   looks as    if   it   will   only be a
matter of time when Switzerland                      will be one      immense resort for
the attraction of foreigners.                  One comes here and            rides   on the
lakes and climbs the Alps in the summer,                        while in the winter he
coasts, skates and indulges in ski sports.

                 The just shall live by faith.
                   The Father good and wise,
                 In tenderness and love,
                     Doth ofttimes close the eyes
                 Of those his best beloved,
                   To prove full well their worth.
                 Faith reacheth to the skies;
                     Oft knowledge cleaves to earth.

                 The just shall live by faith.
                     The just, mark well the.name.
                 His best, most treasured gold
                     Most often in the flame
                 The alchemist doth place;
                   But when withdrawn at last,
                   Oh, then what wondrous grace!
                     Of blemish or alloy
                        It   doth not bear a trace.

                 The just shall live by faith.
                   Take heart, ye weary- worn,
                 We trust and hope and wait,
                     With brow pierced by the thorn.
                   There'll come the glorious dawn.
                     When God will raise his voice,
                   And in his might proclaim:
                     "Behold, my blest, my choice,
                        Who up thru trial came!"
Salt Lake City, Utah.                                      Grace Ingles Frost.
