The following fine passage 10 from sermon
reported in the Ambassador:
"All Saints Day" 10 the day oct apart
or the commsmora'ion Of those who have
no special day set apart for them. There
are some who hardly deserve the appella.
tion Of Saints but, thank God, there are
some who deserve the name Of true saints !;
living perhaps in obscure places, in humble
WAYS and works, who dwell in patience.
who watch by the sick bed, who thankfully
accept the boon God allows to them, who
accept the burden he lays upon them, and
never complain, who bravely stand BY the
right, with no riches or names, who arc
known only Of God, who names are written,
not in the blazoned calendars Of tie church,
but in the red-leaved calendar of the heart.
There are saints like these, and We thank
God for them aud wherever they are. this
10 the essential spirit, that they are rooted
and grounded in love, and have the seed
life Of Christ in them.
BY this condition We are bound to them
wherever they are. They are saints here,
and not merely in some other condition, in
some other world, and some Other form Of
existence. They comprehend whst is the
breadth, and length. aud depth, and height.
We are in connection with them wherever
they are. The apostle speaks Of "ths fami.
y ia heaven and earth. tho Father Of
whom the whole family in heaven and earth
is named" II is . remarkable passage,
