" And now his checkered and eventful course is past; but all before him is clear as crystal, and calm as the sea of glass.
" How triumphant the grace that has borne with, forgiven, restrained, and restored, during all] that long journey in the waste wilderness."
"Blessed was the composure with which he looked death ha the face as a foe long since triumphed over; behind whom, too, all was bright and glorious."
I thought of the words:-
"There, no stranger, God shall greet thee;
Stranger thou in courts above
He who to His rest shall greet thee,
Greets thee with a well-known love."
