Voices of Spring – 1
(1887) What should be the voices of Spring in the human heart?
Resurrected and purified desires; praise, for man’s ability to seek and find the Kingdom of Heaven here-the reign of harmony that furnishes glimpses of the great Source whence cometh all earth’s beautiful hieroglyphics of Love; joy, that human character may be stately as the cedars of Lebanon, and Truth thrive like the willows by the water-courses; humility, bowing down before His goodness, and peering through mortal mind; industry, arranging with beauty each budding thought as it puts forth new glories; higher aspirations and purer pleasures, which give spiritual energy and power to work for man and in obedience to God. Mary Baker Eddy (Oakes, Richard, Course In Divinity and General Collectanea, p.147-148)
