When Thomas A. Edison thought he had discovered the way to record and reproduce the sound of a human voice on a machine, he called in a model maker.
Whatever is created in the "laboratory of experiment" can only be proven on the "track of experience."

"Your promises have been thoroughly tested and your servant loves them" (Ps. 119:140).

When Thomas A. Edison thought he had discovered the way to record and reproduce the sound of a human voice on a machine, he called in a model maker. Handing the man a rough pencil sketch of his idea, he asked that a working model be built.

The model maker surveyed the sketch, then declared, "Impossible. That thing will never work. No one has ever made a machine that could talk."

Instead of accepting this verdict, Edison determinedly said, "Build what I have sketched here and let me be the loser if it doesn't work."
