We, who believe Life’s bases rest 
Beyond the probe of chemic test, 
Still, like our fathers, feel Thee near

It is not thy faith but God’s faithfulness thou must rely on.

The use of faith is to connect the soul with God, and the use of being connected with God is to become like God.

What you see you do not believe;  it is a misnomer;  you see it.   What you believe you cannot see;

Cleave ever to the sunnier side of doubt, 
And cling to Faith beyond the forms of Faith.

And if men seem to us unreasonable, opposers of that which to us is plainly true, let us remember that we are not here to convince men, but to let our light shine.

…we do not always care to follow out a train of thought until it ends in a blind cul-de-sac, as some of what are called the logical people are fond of doing.

Language is valuable for the things of this life, but for the things of the other world it is an encumbrance almost as much as an assistance.

…And the sweet fragrance that the wild flower yields
Shall be the incense I will yield to Thee, Thee only God!
and Thou shalt not despise
Even me, the priest of this poor sacrifice.
