James Martineau with contributions from Phillips Brooks

Often the love of God is hid, passes behind the cloud, and leaves us with a cold shudder of alarm, as if it were not there. But the divine realities do not depend on our apprehension of them; the eclipse of our vision makes no difference in their shining, except to us. The Infinite Love abides behind and waits till we return to it, and the intercepting veil falls away.—James Martineau.

Thank God, there are some men and women full of the power of the Gospel who cannot rest satisfied till they have opened their very hearts, and given the poor, wayfaring man the only thing which is really their own—themselves, their faith, their energy, their hope of God.

Phillips Brooks.
