We cannot build at our caprice the foundations themselves but it is of much moment to remember that our own work becomes fundamental to further work. On God's rock we lay our own foundations. The walls above are imperilled by the weakness of the walls below. Poor materials in the basement crack the roof overhead the tall towers rock and reel because the undergirding is unsound.
There are gifts of speech which Jack the support of the gifts of wisdom,
There are capacities for action made useless for lack of capacities for reflection,
There are mature manhoods which are inefficient because they are not built upon an industrious youth,
There is an old age of mourning for a life of neglected opportunity,
There are souls who have repented of pleasant vices too late to regain the joys of innocence in this world.
