JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
American clergyman (1876 - 1950)

We must take time, take pains, have a plan, form spiritual
habits, if we are to keep our souls alive; and now is the time to
begin. A man to whom religion is a reality, and who knows what
is meant by "the practive of salvation," keeps his balance,
because the living center of his life is spiritual. He cannot be
upset, not shaken. The same hard knocks come to him as to
others, but he reacts to them by the central law of his life. He
suffers deeply, but he does not sour. He knows frustration, but
he goes right on in his kindness and faith. He sees his own
shortcomings but he does not give up, because a power rises up
from his spiritual center and urges his to the best.
