Rest not for the Present
Percy Anecdotes
2 Thessalonians 1:6-7
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;…


Epaminondas, before going into battle with the Lacedaemonians, sat down to rest for a few moments, when his seat fell under him. "That," quoth the soldiers, "bodes no good." "Nay," said their leader, with happy pre sence of mind; "it is an intimation to me that I have no business to be sitting here when I should be leading you against the enemy."

(Percy Anecdotes.)
