Show me a token for good
Companions of the Way (Morning)EVERY noble work is at first "Impossible." In very truth for every noble work the possibilities will lie diffused throughout Immensity; inarticulate, undiscoverable except to faith. Like Gideon, thou shalt spread out thy fleece at the door of thy tent; see whether under the wide arch of Heaven there be any bounteous moisture or none. Thy heart and life-purpose shall be as a miraculous Gideon's fleece, spread out in silent appeal to Heaven; and from the Kind Immensities . . . blessed dew-moisture to suffice thee shall have fallen!
