Companions of the Way (Morning)I will hear what God the Lord will speak.
No man ever lived in the light of the ideal more than he did. Through ideals he endeavoured to give shape to his own life; through ideals he sought to educate and elevate others--ideals drawn from the noblest poetry and philosophy, from sacred books, from the lives of the great and good. In himself he was one of those noble natures with whom even trivial daily acts become a "reasonable service," whose ears seem to be ever listening for the voice of Truth above the noise and babble of the world. In his view the ideal and practical were not to be separated: ideals without practice bear no fruit; practice without the ideal is like the helpless wandering of some headless creature.
