GREAT EVENTS
WE MUST “WALK BY FAITH.” “In looking over what has happened within living memory I have been thrilled by the great events of our own times, greater than they seemed when they were happening. It is quite providential that we cannot see everything either in the glare or the mists of life, and that through long stretches of our journey we have to ‘walk by faith and not by sight,’ for faith is invariably right if you believe in it rightly and accept it as a divine mystery. My appeal to our people now is that they will be true to the light that has come upon them, that they will keep on making history, patiently and right-mindedly in a spirit of service and sacrifice. This century is the greatest of all the centuries, and it is our duty to strive to realised its immense possibilities. What Gladstone described as ‘the immeasurable altitudes that yet remain unsealed’ are in front of all our young people. Their challenge should be accepted with gladness.”—Mr A. G. Walkden, after many years’ service as secretary of the British Railway Clerks’ Association, in a letter to the Railway Service Journal.
