How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.—Hebrews, ix. 13, 14.

Henceforth in my name

Take courage, O thou woman,—man take hope,

Your graves shall be as smooth as Eden’s sward,

Beneath the steps of your prospective thoughts;

And, one step past them, a new Eden gate

Shall open on a hinge of harmony,

And let you through to mercy. Ye shall fall

No more within that Eden, nor pass out

Any more from it. In which hope, move on
