Oh green is the colour of faith and truth,
And rose the colour of love and youth,
And brown of the fruitful clay.
(Dartside, 1849)

We shall be made truly wise if we be made content content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understandthe habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith in God.Charles Kingsley
One good man, one man who does not put on his religion once a week with his Sunday coat, but wears it for his working dress, and lets the thought of God grow into him, and through and through him, till everything he says and does becomes religious, that man is worth a thousand sermons he is a living Gospel he comes in the spirit and power of Elias he is the image of God. And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are Godlike, and that God's grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven.
Charles Kingsley
