"Then, Lord, what will Thou that I do?" asked Francis. "Return to thy native town, and it shall be shown thee there what thou shall do," said the voice. He obediently rose and went back to Assisi. He tried to join again in the old revels, but the joy was gone.
Having from early manhood abandon'd the business pursuits and applications usual in my time and country, and obediently yielded myself up ever since to the impetus mention'd, and to the work of expressing those ideas, it may be that mere habit has got dominion of me, when there is no real need of saying anything further.
