And when Tulsí Rám set forth at last, he was as one who seeth the eyes of a wild beast glaring behind every bush; he was full of cowardly fears. Tulsí Rám shrank back even from shadows; and when sharp stones wounded his feet, he first felt inclined to sit down and weep, and then to turn back and return to his home. Yet some words in his Father’s letter gave a little courage to Tulsí Rám:—_I will not fail thee nor forsake thee; be strong and of a good courage_ (Josh. i. 5, 6). _Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain_ (1 Cor. ix. 24).
