Trial Increases Usefulness
James 1:12
Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life…


There is said to be at Birmingham a department where every rifle is tested before it is sent out. At Greenwich Observatory there is a room where the multitude of ships' chronometers are daily corrected and observed, until, being fully tested, they are sent forth as of value and satisfactory usefulness.

(J. W. Hardman, LL. D.)
