4/36 Give abundant thought to wires and cables and buttresses, and nature will give the bridge across the Firth of Forth. Give the cup of cold water and thou shalt have rivers of water of life. Share thy crust and thy cloak, and thou shall have banquet and robe and house of many mansions. This is the pledge of nature and God: "Give, and good measure pressed down and shaken together, shalt thou receive of celestial reapers." The history of progress is the history of Christ's challenge and man's response. Its principles are not local nor racial nor temporary. |
