That great Cathedral space which was childhood.

Summary

This quote suggests that childhood can be seen as a vast and remarkable expanse, akin to a grand cathedral space. It highlights the notion that childhood is a time of boundless imagination, wonder, and possibility. Just as cathedrals are often characterized by their awe-inspiring architecture and sense of sacredness, childhood is regarded as a formative period filled with extraordinary experiences, innocent joy, and a profound sense of discovery. It speaks to the immense importance and impact that childhood has in shaping an individual's understanding of the world and their place within it.

The doctrine he was going to be teaching, starting tonight, was not the sort of ideology that would stir souls; no one would die for this religion. It would only attracts converts by promising a return to old tradition and by seeming to be the religion of the future.

Why are not more gems from our great authors scattered over the country? Great books are not in everybody's reach; and though it is better to know them thoroughly than to know them only here and there, yet it is a good work to give a little to those who have not the time nor means to get more.

Every faculty you have, your power of thinking or of moving

Every faculty you have, your power of thinking or of moving your limbs from moment to moment, is given you by God. If you devoted every moment of your whole life exclusively to His service you could not give Him anything that was not in a sense his own already ... It is like a small child going to its father and saying, 'Daddy, give me sixpence to buy you a birthday present.' It is all very nice and proper, but only an idiot would think that the father is sixpence to the good on the transaction.
