Time And Pains Will Do Anything.

Time And Pains Will Do Anything.

There Is A Power In The Soul, Quite Separate From The Intellect, Which Sweeps Away Or Recognizes The Marvelous, By Which God Is Felt. Faith Stands Serenely Far Above The Reach Of The Atheism Of Science. It Does Not Rest On The Wonderful, But On The Eternal Wisdom And Goodness Of God. The Revelation Of The Son Was To Proclaim A Father, Not A Mystery. No Science Can Sweep Away The Everlasting Love Which The Heart Feels, And Which The Intellect Does Not Even Pretend To Judge Or Recognize.

For When Man Comes To Front The Everlasting God, And Look The Splendor Of His Judgments In The Face, Personal Integrity, The Dream Of Spotlessness And Innocence, Vanishes Into Thin Air: Your Decencies And Your Church-goings And Your Regularities And Your Attachment To A Correct School And Party, Your Gospel Formulas Of Sound Doctrine--what Is All That, In Front Of The Blaze Of The Wrath To Come?

This Is The True Liberty Of Christ, When A Free Man Binds Himself In Love To Duty. Not In Shrinking From Our Distasteful Occupations, But In Fulfilling Them, Do We Realize Our High Origin.

Only So Far As A Man Believes Strongly, Mightily, Can He Act Cheerfully, Or Do Anything That Is Worth Doing.
