stir up his faith and recognize the Divine Presence, humbly acknowledge his dependence, boldly claim Divine help, and draw freely on the Divine resources placed at the disposal of his faith. III It is the Campaigner himself, and not the details of his campaign, about which I write. Probably no two Campaigners if left to themselves would plan a campaign exactly alike.
