“But nothing in heaven, or earth, or hell, unlocks the arms which cling around a divine Bridegroom.  At each moment He is nearer than the shadow to the side.  Life is leaning on His arm.  Death is sleeping on His breast.  There is a never-failing bond in the sure world, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.”  Henry Law  (1797-1884)
