Description
Excerpt from Henry Wilson: One of God''s Best
In gathering together a few facts rela tive to a life so unspeakably beautiful, so truly Christian, so extensively in?uential, I may be pardoned if perchau-ce around the commonplace statements I am guilty of throwing the halo of filial affection, the admiration of a close and satisfied critic, or the unbounded adoration, formed at close range, due to a soul as nearly perfect as man could be: of Whom it might be said, the world was not worthy, or perhaps in a higher order of judgment, he was a man after God''s own heart.
This little sketch is made with the prayer that to the toilers on the uphill steeps of Life, the Reality of the Eternal Dawn, the sure and certain meeting of the Blessedly Departed, and the glorious reunion of all those who have been faithful unto death, may be made so vital that for the joy that is set before them they may a little while longer bear the cross and endure the shame until Death is swallowed up in victory.
