at I saved I lost: what I gave I have;--and he added: "It will be in
your power every day to store up for yourselves treasures that will
come back to you in the consciousness of duty well done, of kind acts
performed, things that having given away freely you yet possess. It has
often seemed to me that when in the Judgement those surprised faces look
up and say, Lord, when saw we Thee an' hungered and fed Thee; or thirsty
and gave Thee drink; a stranger, and took Thee in; naked and clothed
Thee; and there meets them that warrant-royal of all charity, Inasmuch
as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto Me,
there will be amongst those awed ones many a practitioner of medicine."

And finally I shall conclude this task to which I have set a worn but
willing hand, by using again the words which once I used before: Beyond
all consideration of his intellectual attainments John McCrae was
the well beloved of his friends. He will be missed in his place; and
wherever his companions assemble there will be for them a new poignancy
in the Miltonic phrase,

But O the heavy change, now thou art gone,
Now thou art gone, and never must return!
