| Evidence: | 'I often go to see poor Bob who seems to me dying and it is a good thing to attend a person in that situation. I think the more one sees of the different states of human nature the better. I read to him in the Testament, he flys to religion as his last resource, it is the only firm solid source of happiness in this world.' |
