Turmoil
Wherever thou seest a great end, be sure of a great beginning. Where a monstrous and painful destruction
appals thy mind, console it with the certainty of a large and great
creation. God is there not only in the still small voice, but in
the fire and in the whirlwind.
The greater the destruction, the freer the chances of creation. Those who hope violently, despair swiftly.
Neither hope nor fear, but be sure of God's purpose and thy will to
accomplish.
Wherefore God hammers so fiercely at his world, tramples and kneads it
like dough, casts it so often into the blood-bath and the red hell-heat
of the furnace? Because humanity in
the mass is still a hard, crude and vile ore which will not otherwise be smelted and shaped;
as is his material, so is his method. Let it help to transmute
itself into nobler and purer metal, his ways with it will be gentler
and sweeter, much loftier and fairer its uses.
