We know of love as we do of death, that it is to come some day, if not now, by and by.

Time alone, as it unravels the strange mysteries, shows us in what way our love can prove a blessing or a curse.
But still it has pleased Him that His Church should always have to battle so long as she is in this world, her repose being treasured up on high in the heavens.

"Yes, my boy, and it shows you know how to use your eyes, for young Red-heads look very different from their parents till they get a new suit. You remember that we called the Bluebird the Flag Bird, on account of his three colors.
Resting as it does upon old deference, and inveterate homage, it shows that the spasm of new forces, the outbreak of new agencies, which we call revolution, is for the time simply impossible.
She has been sitting apart in suspense and confusion; now, as she begins to realize the consequences of what she has done, she gives way to despair.
