We give the reader extracts from two letters, the first from one to his brother John and the second from one to his mother: "Your lamentation, dear John, on my separation from you, excites in me a great astonishment.

To justify this separation it seems to me that you have only to open a page of the Gospels of Christ, and to read it with a sincere belief in the words and a generous love of the Saviour.

As for me, I regret nothing so much as that I have not a thousand lives to sacrifice to His service and love.

Yes, I love you all more than I ever did, and I would count nothing as a cost for your present and eternal good.

Yet, by the grace of God, I love my Saviour infinitely, infinitely, infinitely more.
