Excerpt from On the Religious Office of the Universities Christian life. Slowly as we are able to observe it, and gradually as our eyes can bear the growing splendour, the light is ever brightening towards the perfect day. In times of quiet we may be tempted to overlook the uniform pro gress: in times of storm we may be tempted to mistake darkness for night; but as we regard with wider vision the divine order of the world we learn patience without losing hope. If the fulfilment of the promise for which we once looked seems to be withdrawn as we move forward, the assurance that it will be fulfilled that it is fulfilled - grows deeper and more in spiring.
