With what voice shall we speak when we are dead? What will men hear when they turn their, thoughts toward us? What part of us will remain alive, singing or jarring in men’s remem brance? It is the biggest part of us that retains its voice. In some it is wealth; in others it is goodness; some go on speaking in their cruelty; others in their gentleness. Cain still speaks in his jealous passion. Abel still speaks in his faith. Dorcas speaks in her good works and almsdeeds. Judas Iscariot speaks in his betrayal. Yes, something goes on speaking. What shall it be?—Dr. Jowett.
