I am afraid of the man who has thought it all out and has a dozen epigrams he can quote, the answers which he has thought up over the years to settle everything spiritual. There is a silence that can be more eloquent than all human speech. Sometimes there is a confusion of face and bowing of the head that speaks more divine truth than the most eloquent preacher can impart. You do not cultivate it and you do not even know it, but it is there and it is this quality of humility invaded by the Presence of God which the church of our day lacks. It is a sweet and radiant fragrance and I suggest that in some of our churches it may be strongly sensed and felt.
Feeling is an organ of knowledge.
A person or a group of people or a race which has never heard of the word love can never come to an understanding of what love is even if they could memorize the definitions in all of the world s dictionaries. But just consider what happens to any simple, freckled-faced boy with his big ears and his red hair awry when he first falls in love. This is what I am saying love can only be understood by the feeling of it. The same is true with the warmth of the sun. Tell a man who has no feeling that it is a warm day and will never understand what you mean.
