" Lonely the spot, no doubt," he writes, " is, in a cer-

though not planted by mortal hand ; birds will sing 
over it, and never weary in repeating the sweet notes 
which Nature has taught them. I have not been

not think your brother's grave a lonely spot ; whilst 
to the Christian such a spot is the quiet resting-place 
to which the body sank when the spirit was called 
away by God the Father."
