The Life of Jean Henri Fabre 



juncture of his history, this accumulation of 

 trials, so grievous to experience, yet so for- 

 tunate in their consequences that they remind 

 us of the sublime passage of the Gospel, 

 whose sayings regarding eternal life are often 

 rich in lessons for this our present life: " He 

 that loses his life shall save it."
