There is a sanity In them which saves them from the touch of this disease, nud which makes them always the teachers of hope. A world which bas a God over it, and a life which has a God in it, has no place in despair. Loss, calamily, grief, are also excluded, but these do not bring the message of despair, Despair comes only when there is no longer any hope, and no possible issue out of Niveran but permanent and sternal loss.
