Progress
from: "On His Way"
"My intelligence, instead of drawing me further away from spiritual faith, is bringing me closer to it.... The simple words 'Thy Will Be Done' and the simple ideas of honesty and of helping others are taking on a new meaning for me. I should not be surprised to find myself coming to the conclusion that God, whoever or whatever He may be, is eminently more capable of running the universe than I am. At last I believe I am on my way."
