Contagion of Fear
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.


Speaking of his experiences in battle, a soldier-writer says, "How infectious fear is; how it grows when yielded to; and how, when once you begin to run, it soon seems impossible to run fast enough; whereas, if you can manage to stand your ground, the alarm lessens, and sometimes disappears."

(H. O. Mackey.)
