Religion Is Not 'doctrinal Knowledge,' But Wisdom

Lord, Grant That Anger Or Other Bitterness Does Not Reign Over Us, But That Your Grace, Genuine Kindness, Loyalty, And Every Kind Of Friendliness, Generosity, And Gentleness May Reign In Us. Amen

Oh, What Thoughts Man Might Have Had About The Fact That God Is In All Creatures, And So Might Have Reflected On The Power And The Wisdom Of God In Even The Smallest Flowers!
