William Porcher DuBose English priest 1836 - 1918.

                                                        Psalm 131:3

     

     I still 

     my soul

     & make

     it quiet; 

     like a 

     child 

     on its 

     mother’s breast, 

     my soul  is quieted within me. 

                      A readers of the Daily Office Lectionary/ Forward Day by Day for decades, Dad's(& Mom's) life was bathed in the psalms and Scripture. He told me a number of years ago that this was his favorite plan verse, though he does not remember that now. He no longer needs to.

William Porcher DuBose 

“treated life & doctrine 

as a dramatic dialogue, 

fusing the best of con-
temporary thought &

criticism with his own 
strong inner faith".

 (from Holy Women, Holy Men)
