Our lives should be so organized and ordered as to move on at God’s
pace so that they will produce a whole effect, a unitary total. Some
men live by jerks, showing no conviction between to-day and yesterday.
If a spark or point of flame be rapidly swung around in a
circular path it is no longer seen as a spark or point, but as
a continuous circle. Drops of falling rain appear to the eye as
continuous slanted lines or streams. This is due to the fact
that the motion is too rapid to enable the eye to compass the
diameter of the rain-drop, or the spark, before it has moved the
distance of its diameter to a new position.
