FROM OUR EXCHANGES

with contributions from Milner

[Outlook.]

Life itself is the teacher of the prophets and poets, the saints and martyrs. We cannot silence our doubts by thinking; we cannot find God by searching; but we can do His will, and then we shall know His doctrine. ... We keep in His presence by doing the work and living the life of faith. There is no baffling mystery about all this; for the clouds and darkness which surround a man do not make the path at his feet invisible or uncertain; and that path leads, through rough places and smooth, sometimes in light and sometimes in darkness, to the summit. All that a man needs to do is to keep his feet in it. The road is as open to the humblest as to the greatest and the most obscure often find themselves on those higher peaks where the divine vision is most distinct.

[The Churchman.]
