"The bliss of quick obedience
To His low-whispered will,
The bliss of holy idleness
When He shall bid, stand still."
Enthusiasm is a divine possession. Our mortal clay, filled with the presence of the Lord, becomes translucent; our laggard movements, feeling the impulse of heavenly energy, are swift and glad as those of the angels. Without enthusiasm, no earthly work ever goes bravely, no battle is ever won, no forward steps are taken.
