he recovered so far as to DC able to walk
around. His full strength, however, never
returned, and for two months past he be-
came gradually weaker, ending all with n

and possessed of Il heart full of kindness and
charity toward every one. Though his lines
were not always east in pleasant places,
he did not complain: May we not hope that
he is gone to better land?
