THE GREAT PERHAPS.

DEATH is not "the great perhaps," as St. Evremond said, but life is. Your life and mine is an exceedingly great "may be." It may be, by God's help and grace, all good, and sweet, and wonderful; it may be, by our carelessness and wilfulness, all petty, and sad, and miserable indeed. There is a "perhaps" of God, and heaven, and exceeding happiness in every life, and there is a "perhaps" of all that is not these things. If this "perhaps" of life be made sure in all the good that is in it, we have faith to believe that death stands fixed in hope and blessing.—Anon.
