What other dungeon is so dark as one's own heart What jailer so inexorable as one's self

We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems, for conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.

Those who set out nobly to be their brother's keeper sometimes end up by becoming his jailer. Every emancipation has in it the seeds of a new slavery, and every truth easily becomes a lie.

Captain Hale, alone, without sympathy or support, save that from above, on the near approach of death asked for a clergyman to attend him. It was refused. He then requested a Bible; that too was refused by his inhuman jailer.

Badu

From one's nakedness to another are the sins of men,
But i will love you like the sweet apples next door to me.
Sailer, trailer, bailer, failer, jailer!
I am the very lovely muse around you;
And i am the very one you are waiting for.
Badu, do search for me on this love;
And, i will take you up high like Mt. Everest.

A boy is a magical creature you can lock him out of your workshop, but you can't lock him out of your heart. You can get him out of your study, but you can't get him out of your mind. Might as well give up he is your captor, your jailer, your boss and your master a freckled-faced, pint-sized, cat-chasing bundle of noise. But when you come home at night with only the shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words Hi, Dad

Moments Like These

Change becomes the law of life & conformity
Conformity becomes the jailer of freedom
Freedom epitomizes the plea for equality
Equality for the masses wronged
Wronged, taunted & secluded
Moments like these bring assurance
Assurance for the mileages of tomorrow
Tomorrow recalling with sacred verves
Verves amid toil, reverence & chances
Chances amicabily bargaining between the truth & falsehood
Falsehood bred by skeptism alliance
Alliance that never uproot the tree of truth
Truth perceived to be efidicated & preached
Moments like these
Men ought to pray to be strong,
not for easy lives

Hymn 121

Children devoted to God. [For those who practise infant Baptism.]

Gen. 17:7,10; Acts 16:14,15,33.

Thus saith the mercy of the Lord,
"I'll be a God to thee;
I'll bless thy num'rous race, and they
Shall be a seed for me."

Abram believed the promised grace,
And gave his sons to God;
But water seals the blessing now,
That once was sealed with blood.

Thus Lydia sanctified her house,
When she received the word;
Thus the believing jailer gave
His household to the Lord.

Thus later saints, eternal King!
