[dedication]

"I have seen with the eyes of God. I have seen the naked souls of men stripped of circumstance. Rank and reputation, wealth and poverty, knowledge and ignorance, manners and uncouthness, these I saw not. I saw the naked souls of men. I saw who were slaves, and who were free; who were beasts, and who men; who were contemptible, and who honourable. I have seen with the eyes of God. I have seen the vanity of the temporal, and the fiery of the eternal..… I have understood the victory of the Cross. 'O, Death, where is thy sting?'"

Donald Hankey, "A Student in Arms"
