All the trite amenities that roll so glibly oft one's tongue would be out of place here-our debt is far more than a material one; it has a spiritual tenor, too. Through their help, their inspiration, their example we have learned not to tear to venture into the unknown. They have taught us to go out into the darkness and put our hand into the hand of God!
