The Sacred Gift of Sleep in a World of Wakefulness
In this sermon on insomnia and its consolation, St Talmage extols sleep as a divine mercy and a healing gift. He contrasts healthy rest with restless wakefulness, cites biblical examples of sleeplessness, and urges pace and moderation in modern life while honoring martyrs of occupation who lose sleep for duty.
