Faith begins without certain evidence of an
external and positive kind, but as life advances,
one day after another adds the weight of its
indisputable testimony.  If we step out on the
supposition that there is an eternal and spiritual
world enwrapping us on all sides, we shall come
to so clear and distinct an assurance of it, that it
would be easier to doubt our existence.  It is a good
thing to look back and see the way; it is as certain as
possible that the thread of Divine purpose is stringing
together the many-coloured links of our life.
