This confession brings him near

Therefore one of the most encour-

to human spirits is the fact that for
the love that held them and would
not let them go. the sharpest ordeals
were accepted without resentment or
complaint.
They felt that there was some
thing deeper and greater, that a
divine purpose extended through
these ordeals. that they were stern

rigorous climate of the north lands

They submitted with good grace,
and that was the beginning of their
triumph.
