“Some of those now hearing me will, before this time next year, do things which, if whispered to them now, would call forth the angry retort: Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing? On the other hand, there are those who will, within a year, perform acts of heroic faith and love which they would not now believe though a man should show them unto them. We never know what is in us, or what manner of men we are, till the trial comes.”
