Companions of the Way (Morning)So the Lord alone did lead him.
JAMES MAR- TINEAU, Hours of Thought
THERE are moments when the beauty of the universe looks in at us with a meaning quite divine; . . . or the eye of appealing misery burns into the place of pity in our souls, and we know it to be His sympathy as well as ours: or a new insight of duty opens a path which He alone could show. In these instances, we strain no ingenuity to discover Him; it is He who comes to us and finds us; His presence rises of itself, and the revelation is spontaneous. Our sole concern is to accept it, to revere it, to follow it, to live by it.
