A noble soul intent on perfectness of life is familiar with painful dilemmas. There is an inner suffering not less hard to bear. He who sets the mark low easily attains perfection and lives in complacency ; but aiming at the highest the soul involves itself in many sorrows. He who would be perfect knows much of striving, fault and failure. Hamerton, in the Life of J. M. W. Turner, touching on the easy precision of low endeavor as compared with the failure of splendid artistic speculation, justl...y ob- serves : " De Hooge could paint a Dutchwoman standing in her backyard, close to her dust-bin, with a degree of pictorial efficiency incompara- bly superior to that of Turner when he painted the Angel standing in the Sun. " So easy is it to succeed in the commonplace, so difficult in the sublime. But there are just and ineffable consolations in the sufferings of great endeavor. As George McDonald puts it, " The failures of some will be found eternities beyond the successes of others. " XLIV AUDACIOUS NEIGHBORHOOD I know where thou dwellest, even where Satan's throne is : and thou holdest fast My name, and didst not deny My faith, even in the days of Antipas My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth.
