“After this it was noised abroad that Mr. Valiant-for-truth was taken with a summons by the same post as the other, and had this for a token that the summons was true, ‘that his pitcher was broken at the fountain’ (Eccles. xii. 6). When he understood it he called for his friends and told them of it. Then said he: ‘I am going to my Father’s; and though with great difficulty I have got hither, yet now do I not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who now will be my rewarder.’ “When the day that he must go hence was come many accompanied him to the river-side, into which as he went down he said, ‘Death, where is thy sting?’ and as he went down deeper, he said, ‘Grave, where is thy victory?’ “So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him at the other side.” * * * * * “I passed from them, but I found Him whom my soul loveth” (Canticles iii. 4). APPENDIX. As an illustration of the hold which the name of Canon Hoare has upon the Church at large, it may be mentioned that when the suggestion was made to call the proposed New Wing of the South-Eastern College at Ramsgate after him, and to erect it as a memorial of his principles and the teaching of his life, the proposal was warmly received; contributions flowed in from India and the Antipodes, as well as from England, and in about ten months’ time the needed sum of £5,000 was in the Treasurer’s hands. * * * * * * * * * * _Printed by Hazell_, _Watson_, _& Viney_, _Ld._, _London and Aylesbury_. * * * * * ADVERTISEMENTS. _Crown_ 8_vo_, _Cloth_, 3_s._ 6_d._ SPIRAL STAIRS OR THE HEAVENWARD COURSE OF THE CHURCH SEASONS A Series of Devotional Studies on the Christian Life By the Rev.
