Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anglican Pulpit Library, Vol. 3 of 12: Epiphany, Outlines for the New Year, First Sunday After Epiphany, Second Sunday After Epiphany, Third Sunday After Epiphany Have chosen this thought as a motto for Epiphany partly because I am sure that nothing gives such strength to everything we have to do or bear as the simple witness of your own conscience, that your desire is in everything to glorify God. For so God has ordered it, that then are we efficient, and then are we happy, when His ends are our ends. The end always determines the course; and the secret of beginning well, and going on well, is, first, to choose rightly, and then to fix firmly in the mind one great Scope. There are many ends and every end is again a means to a further end, until we arrive at one final end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
