In the Heavenly Church of God " His state Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed, And post o'er land and ocean without rest: They also serve who only stand and wait." MILTON: Sonnet 19 Moses praying on the hill contributed to the victory over Amalek even more than Joshua fighting in the plain (Exodus 17:11). "All Christians are not of equal strength, and some follow Christ to the conflict, others tarry with the stuff. Some fight the Lord's battles in the din of active life; others, aged men and women, the Simeons and Annas of the Church . . . weak in body but strong in faith, fight with the peaceful arms of prayers and tears; Christ is omnipotent and merciful He rewards those who tarry in patience with the stuff, as well as those who go forth in the march to fight valiantly in the battle."--Bishop Hall, in Wordsworth.
