Because the birthday of my life Is come, my love is come to me.

To me it seems our duty towards the Bible is to obey its teaching in faith. I do not think we are bound to understand or account for all its utterances.

Tread softly! All the earth is holy ground.

Love shall be our token; love be yours and love be mine.

Rest, rest at the heart's core . . . till joy shall overtake.

O Lord, I cannot plead my love of Thee: I plead Thy love of me: - the shallow conduit hails the unfathomed sea.

What is the beginning? Love. What is the course. Love still. What the goal. The goal is love.
