'Its unconsciousness
Its unconsciousness is its greatest power
To those whose hearts are full of God's grace, there are large opportunities for quiet and unpurposed usefulness opened in their social life.
The only thing that is needed, is a deep and sincere piety which breathes out unconsciously in face and word and act and manner — like the fragrance of a flower, like the shining of a star. Indeed, its unconsciousness is its greatest power .
He who goes intending to say certain things, or carry certain blessings, or leave certain influences — may fail.
But, going from house to house with a soul full of goodness, purity, and love, with a heart sincerely longing to leave blessings everywhere, with a speech seasoned with grace and breathing kindness and peace — it is impossible not to leave heavenly influences with all whom we meet.
