I know the suffering and pain which sickness entails. I admit the misery and wretchedness which it often brings in its train. But I cannot regard it as an unmixed evil. I see in it a wise permission of God. I see in it a useful provision to check the ravages of sin and the devil among men’s souls. If man had never sinned I should have been at a loss to discern the benefit of sickness. But since sin is in the world, I can see that sickness is a good. It is a blessing quite as much as a curse. It is a rough schoolmaster, I grant. But it is a real friend to man’s soul.

Peer Pressure

Peer Pressure

PEER PRESSURE Submit to pressure from peers

and you move
down to their

level.

Speak up
for your own

beliefs
and you invite
them up to your

level.

If you move
with the crowd,
you’ll get
no further than
the crowd.

When 40 million
people believe in
a dumb idea,
It’s still a
dumb idea.

Simply swimming
with the tide leaves you no where. So if you believe in something

that’s good,
honest and bright,
Stand up for it.

Maybe your peers
will get smart
and drift.
