![casionally weak,—so far shall we be able to recognize in childhood, and ultimately in the now too scarred face of humanity, that which we are as- sured is really there, though hidden: The Godhead’s most benignant grace. “Heaven lies about us in our in- fancy.” Yes, truly, but why only in our infancy? Verily, I believe, be- cause we have effectually prevented anything like “heaven” from sur- rounding the infancy of so many of the human race to-day. The earth is full of darkness and cruel habitations. So our vision is darkened, too, and the ministry of benevolence is hidden from our gaze.
