Companions of the Way (Evening)The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice.
SO in order, in law, and in power I find the Christian faith at the centre of things expanding to include all else; and I find throughout the world, indwelt as it is assuredly by the same Spirit that indwells the Church of Christ, prophecy, yearning, broken lights, anticipations, hopes and faith, meeting with fulfilment there, and bringing thither new interpretation and the stimulus of peculiar need. It is a passing of my pilgrimage into the larger road, the road which will widen out at last into a garden of God. But even there it will not come to an end, for in the light wherein our light shines this road in God is an endless road of the vision of the blessed, and every step in it is new fulness of joy.
