Day 43 Comes to Us

"Food" Brian Kershisnik

                                     (see also Become, Bracelet, By Degrees)
 
“Before this great deliverance (i.e. the Gospel Code of Education) comes to us it is probable that many tentative efforts will be put forth…."

                                                     *

“The knowledge that comes to us is given us in repasts, so to speak.”

                                                   *

“The Bible lives are typical; they disclose to us the inner meaning of our own. That restraining touch of God of which we are all aware, that inspiring whisper in the ear which comes to us at great moments, that fixing of the bounds of our habitation which is part of our Father's plan for each of us, ––these things are presented in the lives of holy men of old.”

                                                  *

“It has come to us of the Parents' Union School to discover great avidity for knowledge in children of all ages and of every class, together with an equally remarkable power of attention, retention, and intellectual reaction upon the pabulum consumed.”
 
Examen: Has this “great deliverance” come to me?  Am I willing to accept learning as it comes? Am I used to imagining I think alone?
