A snippet from "The world's last night" I suppose the experience of final judgement (which may break upon us at any moment) will be like these little experiences, but magnified to the Nth. For it will be infallible judgement. If it is favorable we shall have no fear, if unfavorable, no hope, that it is wrong. We shall not only believe, we shall know, know beyond doubt in every fiber of our appalled or delighted being, that as the Judge has said, so we are: neither more nor less nor other.

The A vocation rests on all men whether they know it or not; the B vocation only on those who are specially called to it. Each vocation has its peculiar dangers and peculiar rewards -from letters to Sheldon Vanauke...
