Excerpt from The Opportunity of the Church of England: Lectures Delivered in the Divinity School of the University of Cambridge in 1904 Lord is. The mark of wisdom is to be circum spect, to have a true outlook upon both the will of God and the conditions of life in which it is to be fulfilled to rescue the good from the bondage of evil and claim it for God, to regard the very evils of the time as opportunities given for the fulfilment of our service.1 This is the Spirit of true wisdom - a spirit which is neither forgetful of the difficulties nor faint-hearted in the face of them. It is a Spirit of a true optimism, which boldly recognizes their force, but believes that they may be converted into opportunities.
