Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 17 "Take care that you judge no life by external evidences, The sources lie so deep that only the loving, sympathetic, helpful eyes of the Father may penetrate so far. And sometimes the loveliest flowers of development are hidden, for the time being, in an outer envelope as unattractive as the screen of the pond-lily, before it pushes its way into bloom and fragrance. Frequently the golden-hearted, the most beautiful characters, have a season of forcing through such bitterly hard conditions, that the stress may very easily awaken repugnance in the minds of those observers who do not understand." "In time to come all the people of the nation will be college graduates. Must we not then as now eat, dress, have places of shelter and methods of keeping clean? The old idea, and the idea which prevails to some extent now, that a man with a college degree cannot take up one of the so-called common tasks is leading the nation to civil strife. We must teach from the beginning that there is dignity in so-called common tasks, just as in the professional tasks. "There is no more divinity in looking at the stars or healing the sick than in hoeing a row of potatoes. We must get the idea of industrial education into the grade schools and begin there to overcome some of the false ideas which now prevail about the common tasks of life." - Dr. John A. Widtsoe. We stand alone and as it were blindfolded, surrounded upon all sides by unknown thresholds, afraid to hope, afraid to fear, knowing only this, that at each forward step the doors are opened for us; ways are made, our burdens are lifted by some great unknown law or power whose purpose we are powerless to fathom. And here upon this threshold wt wait for the doors to open, feeling that the load is too heavy, helpers too few, sometimes discouraged, when our grief is strong, and our joy weak, and years and days are so long. And yet we know that the changeless laws of the Almighty will come to our relief, and good will take the place of ill; and knowing this, the words, "Not as I will" grow sweet and still sweeter each time our lips or our hearts repeat them. And when this blessed thought steals over us like a whispered voice to bless and calm all the loneliness and unrest of our souls, we feel to say, even more and more earnestly, knowing that we but follow One who has trodden the path before, "Not our will but Thine be done." - George D.
