Reservoirs & Canals

Be a reservoir rather than as a canal. A canal spreads abroad water as it receives it, but a reservoir waits until it is filled before overflowing, and thus communicates, without loss to itself, its super abundant water. In the Church at the present day, we have many canals, few reservoirs.
