"He that will follow the will of God where it is clear shall find less than before that is obscure; and no step on holy ground will ever bring you nearer to a soil barren and unblest. There is a wonderful power in simple truth and accuracy, knowing the difference in reality and dreams. One that has an ear for the still voice of God, instead of drowning it in the hum of its own sophistries; and an eye to watch his lights and shades, instead of suffusing all things with its own coloring. From such guileless and open conscience He is never entirely hid; some dear and holy secret, minute it may be, but precious as a know star upon an unknown sea, He makes distinct and clear."
James Martineau.
