The lighting up of God’s countenance in Jesus Christ gives this peace which is the deepest peace of the heart. As national peace it is justice, and as international peace it is love to one’s enemies.

We can testify that we have experienced that we become completely unanimous, when in the quiet hour the Spirit gives witness, and the light of Christ bursts into flame in our hearts, when in this silent concentrated attention the voice of Jesus speaks within us.

Without this joyful courage there would be no mutual help. The help given by one person to another proves that in spite of everything, faith in future healing cannot die.
