To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So as we look out on nature, in spite of all its tre- mendous tragedies, and its dark secrets, and snares, and dooms, and even its torture — ^yet still the sense of joy prevails over all, the mere joy of being alive. Alfred Wallace, the nat- uralist, tells us that looking out over those vast forests in which he wrought out so much of the great work of his life, the joy of living was always the dominant note of the woods; and still above all the death that they secreted, every little creature wa...s rejoicing. So far as it was alive, it was dancing with that joy. Phillips Brooks in the last sermon which he preached on earth discust "The Sacredness of Life"; his text was from David's twenty- first Psalm, "He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. " In that sermon the great preacher enlarges on the fact that in the beginning of our human lives life seems to be merely Ufe, life in its first and simplest form. The un- conscious infant lives in a mere animal ex- istence, and later when the strong and healthy 236 THE SUNDAY-NIGHT EVANGEL boy begins to grow conscious of the delight of life, it is pure Hfe, Hfe simply as a fact, life not with reference to the deeper powers it con- tains or the far-off issues with which it has to do that gives him such hourly delight in living.
