Without Faith, Faith In A Book Of Directions,
Faith In Oneself, Faith In Another's Word,
Written Or Spoken, Faith In " The Soul's
Invincible Surmise," Nothing, Not Even
The Simplest Things, Would Be Done.
From The Child Who Takes His First Step
To The Scientist Who Spends Years In
His Laboratory Testing And Proving The
Hypothesis He Has Set Up, All Creation Is
Based On Faith... "O Ye Of Little Faith!"
Jesus So Often Cried Despairingly To His
Disciples.
It Was Not Their Intellectual Beliefs That
He Was Concerned About, But There
Paralyzing Failure To Apprehend The Truth
That Walked Beside Them.
As They Learned To Use And Trust And
Act Upon Their Little Faith, It Grows Stronger.
-Elizabeth Gray Vining It Is When We Actually
Do This, When We Trust And Act Upon " Our
Little Faith" Day After Day, That The World
Answers Back To Our Faith.
We Find That We Are No Longer Standing
Upon A "Seeming Void" But Upon A Solid
Rock.
The World Answers Back To Our Faith...
It Says To The Farmer,"Sow Your Seed";
To The Aviator,"Spread Your Wings";
To The Miner,"Sink Your Shaft";.
To The Sailor,"Hoist Your Sail";
To The Engineer,"Swing Your Bridge";
To The Scientist,"Trust Your Hypothesis";
To The Financier,"Mark Your Investment";
To The Explorer,"Follow The Gleam."
Faith Is Man's Highest Venture.
The Port Whittier Puts It Thus:
" The Steps Of Faith Fall On The
Seeming Void And Find The Rock
Beneath.
" It Is The" Seeming Void" On Which
We Set Our Faith; Beneath Us,
However, Is The Unseen Reality,
And Faith Gives It Substance.
-Hugh Thompson
Kerr We Cannot Form A True
Conception Of Life When The Tide
Is Out, Any More Than We Can Obtain
A True Picture Of The Shore Under The
Same Conditions.
When All Things Seems At Low Ebb, We
Must Not Give In To Despondency, But
Must Wait - Hopefully, Prayerfully, Confidently
- For The Turn Of The Tide.- -
