A Place Prepared for Each One

A PLACE is prepared for each one of us; a place fitted to our distinct character; a separate work fitted to develop that character into perfection, and in the doing of which we shall have the continual delight of feeling that we are growing; a place not only for us, but for all our peculiar powers. Our ideals shall become more beautiful, and minister continually to fresh inspiration, so that stagnation will be impossible. Feelings for which we found no food here shall then be satisfied with work, and exercised by action to exquisite perfection. Faint possibilities of our nature, which came and went before us here like swallows on the wing, shall then be grasped and made realities. The outlines of life shall be filled up, the rough statute of life shall be finished.—Sel.
