Of bad and legend. Raaaon'i vole
and God's,
Nature'a and Duty's atver are at odda.
What aaka our lather of hla rhlldrea,

Justice and mercy and humility,
A r.aaonable service of good deeda.
'Pure living, tenderneaa to bunui
needa,
.Reverence and trust, and prayer for
light to see
The Maaier'a footprints la ovr dally

No knotted sroarga nor sacrificial

But the calm beauty of an ordered life.
Whose very breathing uaworded

A Ufa that standi aa all true lives bsva

Firm rooted la tbe faith that God Is
good.

aad looking down the aisles of the n
turtes rould see la tbe distance the
form i,t the romlng King, "who shall
have dominion also from sea to sea,
aad from tbe river unto the ends of
the earth." Cycles, ages, mlllenlumi

or oberure tbe glory whlrb In panor
eaic splendor passed before his rav

At this same window Isaiah stood,
aad the mighty cloud of years dissolv
ed as mists sod ahhdows. until before
hla was the "Wonderful Counselor,
tkt mighty Ood. tbe everlsstlng Fath
er, tbe Prince of Peaca."
At this window John stood until be
htktld tbe new heavens and tbe new
earth aad saw that tbe kingdoms of
tbta world had "heroine tbe kingdoms
of our Lord and hla Christ "
Ho life ever arrompllsass anything
of real moment that does not stand
ekMe up to the soul windows snd look

tiwes into tbe darkness, sometimes In-
to the gathering shadows, somstimse
Into the grsy dawn.

women who have redeemed Ufa from
lis puerility snd baseness, who have

duty wbo have brought to pass the

things which otherwise would be In

So good actios will hinder thee. If
thou be Inwardly free from Inordinate

If ibou intend sad seek nothing but
tbe will of Uod and tbe good of thy
neighbor, thou ahalt enjoy eternal lib

creature would be a looking-glass of
life and a book of holy doctrine.
There Is no creature so little and
abject that represenis not tbe good
ness of Ood.
A pare heart penetratrth heaven and
hell Such aa everyone la lawardly,
so he Judgeth outwardly.
If there kg joy la the world, surely

If tbsre be anywhere trlbulattoa and
