then did what he had not done for
years. He kneeled down by his desk
and prayed for the Divine presence and
wisdom to direct him.

mind 'Now for action" he seemed to

Jesus steps I cannot believe there will
be any confusion either in our own
minds or in the Judgment Of others
We must be free from fanaticism on
one hand and too much caution on the
other If Jesus example Is the example
.or the world, it certainly must be
feasible to follow it But We need to

there could be no comelines in the body on

And what l now saw was simply relief
to the eye. 1t was only the landscape that
was satisfying. The road, made for coolie
traffic alone, was from three to four feet
in width and of hard fat stones that have
been actually polished under the sandaled
feet of human burden-bearers-for 1t is an
old and important highway. 1t leads along
mountain sides and through and across
beautiful valleys-rareiy in straight lines:
bridges of ancient construction, with won
derfuly long reaches, achieved by single
stones extending from pillar TO pillar of
durable masonry, and provoking the query
"How were those immense weights man
