The Clerk remarked that when we held our first war Yearly Meeting in 1915 we should have been aghast had anyone ventured to say that in 1918 we should still gather under the same dark shadow. But the long drawn agony continued, and there seemed hardly a break in the dark clouds. We knew not what lay before us. The dread sometimes came over us, a sense certainly of weariness, but perhaps also a sense almost of despair, and a wonder whether, after all, what we were striving to do was not more or less in vain. He had remembered the words of the Master, speaking of a period of great tribulation, He that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved, and the words in the Epistle to the Hebrews, Seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us run with patience the race that 18 set before us, looking unto Jesus We needed to-day especially this grace of endurance, not a mere holding on and bearing up as best we might, but a holding on with faith and hope, and love, looking beyond the present, and seeing the future victory even though it might be very far removed from us. And if, in our hearts, we must say, Who is sufficient for these things? Can we rise to such a spirit as this? Might we remember two great facts of our faith: (1) that our great Leader was described to us in the Old Testament as One who shall not fail nor be discouraged, till He have set judgment in the earth; and the isles shall wait for His law. And (2) that in the New Testa ment we read that He, when He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool. Undismayed, untroubled, ex cept by the trouble of sorrow and of rebellion, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, our Master, patiently waits for the consummation which He knows to be sure and certain; and at the right hand of God He is expectant. Pi nally, our weapons of warfare were not carnal. History told us something of the power of spiritual forces. What a movement was that represented by the Crusades! Think of the enthusiasm evoked, until the whole of Europe was full of what we described to-day as fanaticism, the desire to rescue the Holy City from the domination of the infidel. Think also of the Renaissance, and, later on, of the work of George Fox To day likewise our strength lay in spiritual power and energy, in hope, in faith, in love, the greatest of the three. Striving to wield these great spiritual forces let us go forward unwearied, undismayed and undeterred; not ours to rescue a material Jerusalem from the domination of the irifidel, so called, but to extend the outposts of the Kingdom of our Master amongst men, to bring in the New Jerusalem here and now in the hearts of indi viduals and in the lives of nations.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
