God bless and give you the strength, my children, is the prayer

of your devoted Father. Amen! Amen!"

The strength of spiritual force that seemed to accompany the

letter and his loving advice imparted courage to their hearts,

and instead of giving way to grief, began to philosophically

reason and console themselves that God's ways were wiser than

man's.

until its soul took its flight to realms beyond, where truly it

became as a beacon-light to the souls of its parents. Its

departure left the Prince and Princess sad and lonely for a time

and their struggle to reconciliation was great--but this was of

the heart and not of the soul. Time healed the external wound and

the interior vacancy was filled by study, investigation and the

development to external consciousness of the knowledge within.
