"Do not believe that man's soul is like mere matter, or has been
produced, like lower forms in the earlier ages of the earth, only to
perish. Believe that he is destined both to advance to something higher
on the earth, and also to develop in some higher place elsewhere, if he
repeats the process of evolution by subduing the lower within him to the
uses of the higher, whether in peaceful growth or through painful
struggle."--_A. C. Bradley_.

2. HIS YOUTH. "Limited time, however old or long, must be always young,
compared with the hoary age of eternity."

"Again the mysterious play of mighty cosmic forces arrests his thought.
Everything in the material universe is changing, transient; all is in a
state of flux, of motion, of perpetual disintegration or re-integration.
But there is one thing fixed and abiding--that which we call spirit--and
amid all uncertainty, one truth is certain--that to a loving human soul a
parting which shall be eternal is unthinkable."--_Elizabeth R. Chapman_.

4. STILLNESS. Hallam Tennyson remarks that balloonists say that even in
a storm the middle sea is noiseless. It is the ship that is the cause of
the howling of the wind and the lashing of the storm.

4. CENTRAL SEA. Far from land.
