The Teaching of Ordinary Life
Isaiah 26:9
With my soul have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you early…


Persons are apt too much to separate spirituality of mind from the teaching of ordinary life, and the lessons which the facts of this world convey. Undoubtedly the mind may be spiritualised without this teaching, and even before it can be had; at the same time, in the case of the great majority of men, the spiritual temper is not attained without this teaching.

(J. B. Mozley, D. D.)
