18 WALLACE CLEMENT WARE SABINE— HALL 



We say of such a man, it is a pity he died so young; if he had taken care of himself, had 

 been regular in his meals and in his hours of sleep, he would have had a long as well as a useful 

 life. Yes; but a man must work according to his nature, and Sabine's temperament was not 

 that of the ordinary man, not that of the ordinary scientific investigator. Some of the high 

 things he did could not have been done by a man who must be regular at his meals and regular 

 in his hours of sleep. When we remember how long the plagues he grappled with had baffled 

 the efforts of others, and with what intensity of labor he finally exorcised them, it seems not 

 irreverent or unfitting to recall the words: ''This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
