8 President’s Address

gering difficulties confront us, but our blessed Redeemer, who is the
Head of His Church, can surely remove them. The forces of hell
may wage an unabating and relentless warfare against us, but with
Christ at our side, we are assured of victory. Here on-earth we
must expect to continue as the Church Militant; but as certain as
eternity will dawn, so certain are we that we shall be the Church

Triumphant. As sure’as God’s own Word is true,

Not earth nor hell with all their crew
Against us shall prevail.

A jest and by-word are they grown;
God is with us, We are His own;

Our victory cannot fail.

Amen
