By faith I mean a vision of good one cherishes and the enthusiasm that pushes one to seek its fulfillment regardless of obstacles.
Faith is a dynamic power that breaks the chain of routine and gives a new，fine turn to old commonplaces.
Active faith knows no fear，and it is a safeguard to me against cynicism and despair.
After all，faith is not one thing or two or three things; it is an indivisible totality of beliefs that inspire me.
Belief in God as infinite good will and all-seeing Wisdom whose everlasting arms sustain me walking on the sea of life.
Trust in my fellow men，wonder at their fundamental goodness and confidence that after this night of sorrow and oppression they will rise up strong and beautiful in the glory of morning.
Reverence for the beauty and preciousness of the earth，and a sense of responsibility to do what I can to make it a habitation of health and plenty for all men.
Faith in immortality because it renders less bitter the separation from those I have loved and lost，and because it will free me from unnatural limitations and unfold still more faculties I have in joyous activity.
But fate has its master in the faith of those who surmount it，and limitation has its limits for those who，thought disillusioned，live greatly.
It does not shift with the changing shades of one's thought.
It was a terrible blow to my faith when I learned that millions of my fellow creatures must labor all their days for food and shelter，bear the most crushing burdens and die without having known the joy of living.
But faith is a state of mind.
The believer is not soon disheartened.
When I think of the suffering and famine，and the continued slaughter of men，my spirit bleeds。
but the thought comes to me that，like the little deaf，dumb and blind child I once was，mankind is growing out of the darkness of ignorance and hate into the light of a brighter day.
