Shall every man have all the bliss
from “Savior of the World” Book 1, by Charlotte Mason
That is, by right of fitness, his?
Is Vision for all sons of men?
Shall peoples walk with God again?
But, oh, the head is sick, the heart
Too faint to choose the righteous part!
Shall the Messiah purge the whole,
And animate each sinking soul?
And shall He in His power go forth?
From east and west, from south and north,
Shall men flock round Him with desire,
Soliciting His purging fire?
How wonderful Thy counsels, Lord
Thy ways past finding out, Thy word,
Quick and compelling, searcheth out
Just means to bring high ends about!

The Chief Thing we have to do––To bring the human race, family by family, child by child, out of the savage and inhuman desolation where He is not, into the light and warmth and comfort of the presence of God, is, no doubt, the chief thing we have to do in the world. And this individual work with each child, being the most momentous work in the world, is put into the hands of the wisest, most loving, disciplined, and divinely instructed of human beings. Be ye perfect as your Father is perfect, is the perfection of parenthood, perhaps to be attained in its fulness only through parenthood. There are mistaken parents, ignorant parents, a few indifferent parents; even, as one in a thousand, callous parents; but the good that is done upon the earth is done, under God, by parents, whether directly or indirectly.
Charlotte Mason, Parents and Children, p. 51-52
