Or, if the warning fades and the necessity grows large again, will there
be found another Stobalt to respond to the call? "For those whom Heaven
afflicts there is a chance," contributes the Sage of another land; "but
they who persistently work out their own undoing are indeed hopeless."

Or may it be that the faith of Tirrel will be justified, and that in the
process of time there will emerge from man's ceaseless groping after
perfection a new wisdom, under whose yet undreamt-of scheme and
dispensation all men will be content and reconciled?

The philosopher shakes his head weightily and remains silent--thereby
adding to his reputation. The prophets prophesy; the old men dream
dreams and the young men see visions, and the dispassionate speculate.
On all sides there is a multitude of the counsel in which, as we must
believe, lies wisdom.

It is an interesting situation, and as it can only be definitely settled
beyond the dim vista of future centuries, the pity is that we shall
never know.


THE END.
