“The book is a striking testimony to the fact that, whatever else
Christianity may be, it is emphatically a power that consoles. Pain
and sorrow, as mirrored in these extracts, are no accidents of human
life, not evil to be endured with what firmness a man may, but
something by which life is made wider, deeper, purer, and infinitely
more glorious than it otherwise could have been.”—_Spectator_.
