the vast extent of creation.

"Then some one came to him and spoke of an old Book which told of the
great Creator of the world, and that all its wonderful beauty was the
work of His hand; that the sorrow and the wrong which he had seen around
him were but for a time, for the Creator was also the Father of the
universe, and had sent His Son into the world as its Saviour, and to die
for its deliverance.

"Afterwards he read in this Book the story of the life and death of this
Son of God, who was also the Son of man; and he learned that a fuller
and truer life lay beyond the things that are now seen. So with reverent
feeling he waited, thinking much of the closed door.

"At last, the bars were undone, the key was turned in the lock, the door
was opened, the walls of his cell fell down, and he stood young and
strong on the outside! Then he saw and heard things I cannot tell you
about, so like the old, and yet so different. But he felt no fear; for
he knew he was under the same wise, kind, righteous laws, under the
Ruler of the universe, and that the kingdoms of the seen and the unseen
are but one."
