lessing go. The gold you white folk love is yours, and it shall
multiply and give food to the hungry and raiment to those that are
a-cold. Yet in your own heart lies a richer store that cannot melt away,
the countless treasure of mercy and of love. When you sleep and when
you wake Love shall take you by the hand, till at length he leads you
through life's dark cave to that eternal house of purest gold which soon
or late those that seek it shall inherit," and with his staff he pointed
to the glowing morning sky wherein one by one little rosy clouds floated
upwards and were lost.
To Robert and to Benita's misty eyes they looked like bright-winged
angels throwing wide the black doors of night, and heralding that
conquering glory at whose advent despair and darkness flee away.
