To my mind it must include this trin ity-greatness of thought, of heart, *f"will. "My mother, my Saint Courageous, was great in the sense of this majes-j tip? symmetry ;She had no pettinessi Ifc-wa&th? h?bit* of her niind to stu dy subjects from the point of har mony.

But it was as natural to .her as it is to a rose, to giveMortt? fragrance, to say to her- j self and others: "Wherein does this Presbyterian or: Baptist, harmo-;| riize with the views ' that are dear iv j me?' Then ;she dwelt upon tha< harmony; and' through iv brought those about.her into oneness of sym pathy, w.ith herself; . She M'as occul piedl with great themes.
