Emphasis Preaching Journal

Did you learn some of the lines written by Alfred Lord Tennyson? Along the way of our schooling, many of us were assigned a few of his poems. I remember learning in the sixth grade the opening of "The Charge of the Light Brigade": "Half a league, half a league, half a league onward./Into the valley of death rode the six hundred."

Then in a college, we studied Ten-nyson's "The Passing of Arthur." These lines have been an inspiration to many: "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of./Wherefore, let thy voice rise like a fountain for me day and night."
