ere looking for even greater things in years to
come. Such fitness for influence as he possessed is not acquired in a
day, and just when its worth was being proved he was taken from us.
Surely these gifts and graces are not now as if they had never been, or
as if, once granted, they had been idly wasted! Can that earnest,
patient cultivation really have been gratuitous, and the unselfish
instinct that inspired it mistaken? Were it so, the whole universe
looks out of joint. The more I consider such lives as that of your
brother--lives, I mean, which, bearing promise of so rich a harvest,
are yet cut off before the full harvest can possibly have been
realised--the more my conviction grows that the passing of such men as
he is not death, but only "the birth which we call death."'
