"Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it
abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He
that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal."
St. John xii., 24, 25.

I t was a windy night, that memorable seventh night of
December, when this philosophy was born in me. How the
grave old Professor wondered at my ravings! I had called at
his house, for he was a valued friend of mine, and I felt
strange thoughts and emotions shake within me. Ah! how I
raved! I called to him to trample me, he would not. We passed
together into the stormy night. I was on horseback, how I
galloped round him in my phrenzy, till he became the prey of
a real physical fear! How I shrieked out I know not what
strange words! And the poor good old man tried all he could
to calm me; he thought I was mad! The fool! I was in the
death struggle with self: God and Satan fought for my soul
those three long hours. God conquered—now I have only one
doubt left—which of the twain was God ? Howbeit, I aspire!
