As Seeing the Invisible.

No great purpose has ever been
achieved by any individual until his
spirit has first gone out into some
wilderness solitude and there discov-
cred its native strength. its absolute
invincibility when 1t relies upon no
help but that of God. This is the
experience of all the greatest among
men. They go apart from their fei-
lows for awhile, like Moses, into the
land of indian, or like our Lord him
self into the wilderness, or like St
Paul into the Arabian desert, and
there, in solitary communion with
God, from that highest of all compan-
ionships, they drink in strength to
fit them for the work OF our lives.
Alone with God. they see visions
which fill their souls, visions which
never fade afterward even in the
light of common day, but which serve
as beacon lights to guide them,
through storm and darkness. till the
purpose of their lives is fulfilled
