Words of encouragement to a Crusader for Christ.

I was looking through some boxes the other day and came across my Mum's autograph book, which she took with her to the Crusaders Session at the Training College in 1940 and was still using as a young Lieutenant serving in London during the Blitz.

In it some older and wiser officers wrote their words of encouragement and advice, (not necessarily original but endorsed by them) in those challenging days. They still hold true.

Aim high!
Low aims are greater crimes than failures.
(Colonel James)

"Set thy heart towards the highway."
(Minnie Carpenter)

"The secret of the victorious life is to say Yes to God - and to keep on saying it."
(General George Carpenter)

And I'll sign off tonight with the words that Albert Osborne contributed to the collection...

For the cross
The colours
And the Kingdom!
