Really, a young Atheist cannot guard his faith too carefully. Dangers lie in wait for him on every side.

Delight is incomplete until it is expressed.

A recovery of the old sense of sin is essential to Christianity. Christ takes it for granted that men are bad. Until we really feel this assumption of His to be true, though we are part of the world He came to save, we are not part of the audience to whom His words are addressed.

We are told that Christ was killed for us, that His death has washed out our sins, and that by dying He disabled death itself. That is the formula. That is Christianity. That is what has to be believed.

Every disability conceals a vocation, if only we can find it, which will 'turn the necessity to glorious gain.

And in truth (as I now see) I had the wish to put off my journey as long as I could. Not for any peril or labour it might cost; but because I could see nothing in the whole world for me to do once it was accomplished. AS long as this act lay before me, there was, as it were, some barrier between me and the dead desert which the rest of my life must be.

Awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters.
