When God wants to drill a man, and thrill a man, and skill a man, when God wants to mold a man to play the noblest part when he yearns with all his heart to create so great and bold a man that all the world might be amazed, watch his methods watch his ways. How he ruthlessly perfects who he royally elects. How he hammers and hurt him, and mighty blows converts him in to trial shapes of clay that only God understands while his torched heart is crying and he lifts beseeching hands. How he bends but never breaks, when his good he undertakes. How he uses whom he chooses and with mighty acts he induces him, to try his splendor out God knows what he is about.
