The Element We Are Losing"We leave our places of worship, and no deep and inexpressible wonder sits upon our faces—when we get out into the streets our faces are one with the faces of those who have left the theaters and music halls. There is nothing about us to suggest that we’ve been looking at anything stupendous and overwhelming. "Far back in my boyhood I remember an old saint telling me that after some services he liked to make his way home alone by quiet by-paths, so that the hush of the Almighty might remain on his awed and prostrate soul. That is the element we are losing." (John Henry Howett) |
