Muno June 2.1919 ΤΟ One whose simplicity and sincerity have been the best exponent of the life of faith,- -as his friendship has been the unfailing source of inspiration and joy. "Now faith may be thus understood; it is that power by which a man gives himself up to anything, seeks, wills, adheres to, and unites with it, so that his life lives in it, and belongs to it. Now to whatever the soul gives itself up; whatever it hungereth after; and in which it delights, and seeks to be united; there, and there only is its faith; that faith which can work either life or death, and according to which faith, everything is, and must be done to man."
