OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" The book is a striking testimony to the fact 

 that, whatever else Christianity may be, it is em- 

 phatically a power that consoles. Pain and sorrow, 

 as mirrored in these extracts, are no accidents of 

 human life, not evil to be endured with what firm- 

 ness a man may, but something by which life is 

 made wider, deeper, purer, and infinitely more 

 glorious than it otherwise could have been. Pain 

 is transfigured in the light of a larger life, when it is 

 accepted by the sufferer as a step towards the grand 

 optimism of Christianity, in which all things are re- 

 garded as working together for good. With great 

 taste and judgment, and with wide Catholicity of 

 sentiment, Mr. Orme has made his selections. His 

 book is, indeed, a book of consolation. We believe 

 it will find a welcome in many a household, and 

 help many who suffer to bear their pain hopefully." 

 Spectator. 



" The Editor has ably performed his labour of 

 love, and has, in this volume, opened a fountain of 

 thought from which refreshing streams should go 

 forth to console, to strengthen, and to nerve for 

 fresh effort many grief-stricken mourners." Non- 

 conformist.
