As they know themselves to dwell in the world of time and yet to be capable of transcending it, so the Ultimate Reality, they think, inhabits yet inconceivably exceeds all that they know to be as the soul of the musician controls and exceeds not merely each note of the flowing melody, but also the whole of that symphony in which these cadences must play their part.
And, O slayer of foes, it came to pass that on the evening of that day refreshing the whole world, there began to blow a pure breeze. And in my vicinity on the base of the Himalaya mountain fresh, fragrant and fair flowers began to bloom. And on all sides there were heard charming symphony and captivating hymns relating to Indra.
Even if belief failed, in the sense of believing a shilling, it succeeded in the sense of believing a symphony. The invading beauty swept about us both. Here was a glory that was also a driving power upon which any but a man half dead could draw for practical use. For the big conceptions fan the will. The little pains of life, they make one feel, need not kill true joy, nor deaden effort.

Moreover, they were earnestly besought to live in such daily and hourly fellowship with God as that their own unbelief and disobedience might not risk either their own power in prayer, or the agreement, needful among them, in order to common supplication. One discordant note may prevent the harmonious symphony of united prayer, and so far hinder the acceptableness of such prayer with God.
OSIER: Such oratory is a whole orchestral symphony. VIRGINIA: Such command of intonation and subject! SWITHIN: That resonant voice! LADY OLDLACE: Swithin, his flow of eloquence! He launched forth! SWITHIN: Like an eagle from a cliff. OSIER: The measure of the words was like a beat of wings. SWITHIN: He makes poets of us. DAME DRESDEN: Spiral achieved his pinnacle to-day!
He faced up the river and trudged on, the cottonwood leaves beginning their everlasting symphony, that is like the murmur of rain, as the wakening wind moved them overhead. Morgan stumbled over tin cans at the edge of the tall grass when the rising sun was shining across his unprotected eyes.
