When all is told, we are quite sure that the most congenial saints in heaven will be those unselfish and radiant spirits who bravely met what they found in this life, rejoiced in God's sunshine, made little of the rain, and in both bright weather and dark forgot their own present and future in bringing com- fort and help to the burdened and op- pressed. They will have made them- selves more fit for heaven, and they 1 68 RESPONSIBILITY OF GOD will have made heaven more glad, be- cause while on e...arth they did not try to probe secrets of the future which God obviously meant to remain secrets, and they lived their hard and beautiful lives on earth as if it were heaven itself. In such lives I see the first full and eloquent reason why I think God is willing to be responsible, even though we murmur, for our not know- ing any detail of the manner of our future life. The second reason for God's with- holding from us news of the country beyond death seems to me quite as clear: I cannot believe that our present consciousness could by any means com- prehend any descriptions which might be given us.
