Feared to trust himself to it. He hesitated long, but night was coming on, and
he must reach the other shore. At length, with many fears and infinite caution,
he crept out on his hands and knees, thinking thus to distribute his weight as
much as possible, and trembled at every sound. When he had gone in this painful
way halfway over, he heard a sound of singing behind him. There in the dusk was
a man driving a four-horse load of coal across upon the ice and singing as he
went! Many a Christian creeps tremblingly out upon God's promises where another,
stronger in faith, goes singing through life upheld by the same word.
