Family Photo Friday

 Here is another family photo.  My father used to make signs to show what he was thinking at a particular time.  This is one of them.  He took this one with him to Tunbridge World's Fair one year.  It elicited a lot of comment from passersby!  He loved talking about his faith and his love for this great country where he was raised and where his family shed blood.

This quote came as a result of this hymn in our hymnal which he very much believed.  So many hymns are filled with words of light and truth and are worth emulating. These are the words:

Choose the Right

1. 1. Choose the right when a choice is placed before you.

   In the right the Holy Spirit guides;

   And its light is forever shining o’er you,

   When in the right your heart confides.

2. [Chorus]

   Choose the right! Choose the right!

   Let wisdom mark the way before.

   In its light, choose the right!

   And God will bless you evermore.

3. 2. Choose the right! Let no spirit of digression

   Overcome you in the evil hour.

   There’s the right and the wrong to ev’ry question;

   Be safe thru inspiration’s pow’r.

4. 3. Choose the right! There is peace in righteous doing.

   Choose the right! There’s safety for the soul.

   Choose the right in all labors you’re pursuing;

   Let God and heaven be your goal.
