The Lord has literally poured out His spirit upon all flesh, as the accomplishments of man today give full witness. It is significant that this great thrust forward in man's achievement and progress and this pouring out of knowledge is not confined to any one nation or people, but it seems that new knowledge from heaven comes simultaneously to every advanced, civilized nation.

Though dark my path and sad my lot, Let me be still and murmur not But breathe the prayer divinely taught, 'Thy will be done.' What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved no longer nigh, Submissive still, would I reply, 'Thy will be done.'

Renew my will from day to day Blend it with Thine, and take away All that now makes it hard to say, 'Thy will be done.'
