CHAPTER VIII.
A BROTHER’S EFFORT.

“Solicit not thy thoughts with matters hid,

Leave them to God above; him serve and fear.

... Heaven is for thee too high

To know what passes there. Be lowly wise.”

Milton.

“The calm philosopher may analyze

The elements that form a water-drop;

But will the faint and thirsty pilgrim stop

To scan its nature, ere the fount he tries?
