When the Spirit, revealing the will of God for the world, creates in the heart a great pain and a great discontent, do not check it. That is what Christian men and women are too constantly doing. ...

We ought to hear. We ought to know. We ought to bring the new sensitivity of our Christian life into close touch with the world's agony until we feel its pain as our very own. When we feel that, there will spring out of our life a new desire which will drive us to prayer. Out of such prayer the toil and travail come which will bring the kingdom in.
