Barr, Amelia Edith Huddleston, 1831-1919

"The Measure of a Man"

"
"Will you give me a copy of those verses?" asked Jane with great
emotion.
"I will. You see a little clearer now?"
"Yes."
"And the glory and the safety for the child? Do you understand?"
"I think I do."
"Then give thanks and not tears because the King desired your child, for
this message came forth from Him in whom we live and move and have our
being: 'Come up hither, and dwell in the House of the Lord forever. The
days of thy life have been sufficient. The bands of suffering are
loosed. Thy Redeemer hath brought thee a release.' So she went forth
unto her Maker. She attained unto the beginning of Peace. She departed
to the habitations of just men made perfect, to the communion of saints,
to the life everlasting."
In such conversation the evening passed and all present were somewhat
comforted, yet it was only alleviation; for comfort to be lasting, must
be in a great measure self-evolved, must spring from our own
convictions, our own assurance and sense of absolute love and justice.
