I thought separation on earth the worst agony that could befall me ; but what — what is it compared to the eternal one of death ? " "No, no; not eternal, Arthur. In heaven I feel there is no distinction of creed or faith ; we shall all love God and one another there, and earth's fearful distinctions can never come between us.
