Well may we envy the fate of Dr. Hitchcock, whose brilliant career ended in a glorious sunset. He is at rest ; he wears the crown ; he sees face to face. All problems of history are solved for him in the sunshine of God's eternal wisdom and love.

Trust in God, and keep your armor on, and victory is insured.
