"...but for all our fears we are not alone. our trouble is that we think of ourselves as being alone. let us correct the error by thinking of ourselves as standing by the bank of a full flowing river; then let us think of that river as being none else but God Himself. We glance to the left and see the river coming full out of our past; we look to the right and see it flowing on into our future. but we see also that it is flowing through our present. and in our today it is the same as it was in our yesterday, not less than, nor different."
