Hope is one of the chambers of the soul—if haply you can see the inscription over the door. It has two sides and two windows. From one of these you can see the stars, the heaven beyond, the Holy City, the angels of God, the General Assembly, and church of the first-born. This is shut! The other window looks out into the world’s highway, and sees men, caravans, artificers, miners, artisans, engineers, builders, bankers, brokers, pleasure-mongers. That window stands wide open, and is much used!—BEECHER.
