March 1

CTJ^ RAVEN is a place of complete victory and triumph. This is the battle-field; there is the triumphal procession. This is the land of the sword and the spear; that is the land of the wreath and the crown. Oh, what a thrill of joy shall shoot through the hearts of all the blessed when their conquests shall be complete in heaven, when death itself, the last of foes, shall be slain — when Satan shall be dragged captive at the chariot wheels of Christ — when he shall have overthrown sin — when the great shout of universal victory shall rise from the hearts of all the redeemed!
