Come learn with me the perfect song 
 Which knits the world in music strong; 
 
 Come lift thine eyes to lofty rhymes 
 
 Of things with things, of times with times.

 Their care is only to be.

 My God, let me trust in Thee." 
 
 "The common deeds of the common day 
 Are ringing bells in the far-away. " t 
 
 Let thy soul walk softly in thee 
 As a saint in Heaven unshod, 
 
 For to be alone with silence 
 Is to be alone with God. 
 
 L. M. Hageman. 
 
 "Beautiful is the year in its coming, and in its 
 going most beautiful and blessed, because it is

 To loiter down lone alleys of delight, 
 
 And hear the beating of the hearts of trees, 
 
 And think the thoughts that lilies speak m white 
 By greenwood pools and pleasant passages. 
 
 Sidney Lanier. 
 
"Back of the loaf is the snowy flour, 
 
 And back of the flour the mill, 
 And back of the mill is the shower, 
 And the sun, and the Father's will." 
 
 That exquisite poise of character which we call 
 serenity is last lesson of culture; it is the flowering 
 of life,. 'the fruitage of the soul.

 To each of us there will come an hour 
 When the tree of life shall burst into flower 
 And rain at our feet a glorious dower 
 
 Of something grander than ever we knew. 
 
 
 Submission, courage, exertion, these seem to be 
 the weapons, with which we must fight life's long 
 battle. Charlotte Bronte. 
 
 They are never alone who are accompanied 
 with noble thoughts. Sidney. 
 
"This world of God's is brighter 
 
 Than we ever dreamed or know; 
 Its burdens growing lighter, 
 
 And it's Love that makes it so. 
 And I'm thankful that I'm living, 
 
 When Love's blesedness I see, 
 'Neath a Heaven that's forgiving 
 
 When the bells ring home to me." 
 
 'Tomorrow fresh shall rise from out the night. 
 And new baptize the indomitable soul 
 With courage for the never ending fight." 
 
 In the beauty of the lilies

 Let me die to make men free. 
 
 Julia Ward Hove. 
 
When we think of Good the angels are silent; 
 when we do it they rejoice. Mrs. Whitney.

 As the marsh hen secretly builds in the watery' sod 
 Behold I will build me a nest in the greatness of 
 
 God; 
 I will fly in the greatness of God as the marsh 
 
 hen flies 
 In the freedom that fills all the space 'twixt the 
 
 marsh and the skies; 
 By so many roots as the marsh grass sends in the 
 
 sod 
 I will heartily lay me a hold on the greatness of 
 
 God; 
 Oh! like to the greatness of God is the greatness 
 
 within 
 The range of the marshes, the liberal marshes of 
 
 Glynn. Sidney Lanier.

Death is a sleep through Christ we wake, 
 
 Escape this world of strife; 
 The garment of salvation take, 
 
 And reign in endless life. 
 
 W. W. Case. 
 
 No one performs an act of kindness, but plants 
 a flower in his own heart. 
 
 The faithful Christian never outlives his usefulness. 
 
 Do not clamor for spiritual confectionery; cul- 
 tivate a taste for the sincere milk of the Word. 
 
 Happiness generally shuns the abodes of grand- 
 eur, and takes up her dwelling with the humble 
 poor. 
 
 W. W. Case. 
 
 11 
 
Each in her place appointed, 
 
 The lily dwells serene; 
 She cares not though the thistles blow 
 
 Anear her leaf of green; 
 Her neighbors cannot vex her soul 
 
 For she was born a queen. 
 
 Margaret Sangster. 
 
 The great thing in the world is not so much 
 where we stand, as in what direction we are 
 moving. Oliver Wendell Holmes. 
 
 
 "To die is landing on some distant shore, 
 Where billows never break, nor tempests roar." 
 
 "Let your souls lie down upon His sweet will, 
 as your bodies lie down at night. Relax every 
 strain and lay off every burden." 
 
 12 
 
"And God is within, and around me; 
 
 All good is forever divine; 
 To all who seek it is given, 
 It comes by a law divine.'' 
 
 Our religious differences mostly spring from 
 what all of us do not know, but pretend to know. 
 
 All our humanities center in our individuality. 
 All virtue is the fcrthputting of individuality. 
 All sin is the surrender of individuality. 
 
 Dr. Edersheim. 
 
 From the dark chambers of dejection freed, 
 Spurning the unprofitable yoke of care, 
 
 Rise, rise! The gales of youth shall bear 
 Thy genius forward like a winged steed! 
 
 Wordsworth.

 I cannot think but God must know 
 
 About the thing I long for so; 
 
 I know he is so good and kind 
 
 I cannot think but he will find 
 
 Some way to help, some way to show 
 
 To me the thing I long for so." 
 
 Wh at we call disappointments are only not 
 God's appointments. 
 
 Trials are God's veiled angels to us. 
 
 
 A Christian is like a diamond, flashing many 
 colors in the light of the Son of Righteousness. 
 
 These are the four stages: 
 
 Sine timore et sine amore; 
 Cum timore et sine amore; 
 Cum timore et cum amore; 
 Sine timore et cum amore. 
 
 Alfred Edersheim, D. D.

He prayeth best who lovest best 
 All things both great and small; 
 
 For the dear God who loveth us 
 He made and loveth all. 
 
 Coleridge. 
 
 Let us not be amused with beautiful theories, 
 when we ought to be awed by sublime facts. 
 
 Mere secular education is like the rainbow 
 which has its beginning and its end in earth. 
 Christian education is the rainbow inverted. It 
 begins in heaven, descends with its beautiful arch, 
 illuminates and gladdens the earth with its light, 
 rises upward again, and is lost in the heavens. 
 
 W. W. Case. 
 
 God never would send you the darkness, 
 If he thought you could bear the light; 
 
 But you would not cling to his guiding hand, 
 If the way were always bright; 
 
 And you would not care to walk by faith, 
 Could you always walk by sight. 
 
 15 
 
"He makes a road of our broken works, 
 And a rainbow of our tears." 
 
 "Prayer is not conquering God's reluctance; 
 but taking hold of God's willingness." 
 
 Thou must believe and thou must venture, 
 In fearless Faith thy safety dwells; 
 
 By miracles alone men enter 
 The glorious land of miracles. 
 
 Schiller. 
 
 
 Space is as nothing to spirit the deed is outdone 
 
 by the doing; 
 The heart of the wooer is warm, but warmer the 
 
 heart of the wooing; 
 And up from the pits where these shiver, and up 
 
 from the heights where those shine, 
 Twin voices and shadows swim starward, and the 
 
 essence of life is divine. 
 
 Richard Realf.

"If there be a weaker one, 
 
 Give me strength to help him on; 
 If a blinder soul there be, 
 
 Let me guide him nearer Thee." 
 
 Whittier. 
 
 Wisdom is knowing what to do next; skill is 
 knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it. 
 David Starr Jordan. 
 
 Like the blind spinner in the sun 
 
 I tread my days; 
 I know that all the threads will run 
 
 Appointed way. 
 
 Helen Hunt Jackson. 
 
 I think that man is vastly superior to woman 
 as man; and woman is vastly superior to man 
 as woman; and that both of them together are 
 more than a match for either of them separately. 
 Henry Ward Beecher. 
 
 17 
 
He is coming, O my spirit! with His everlasting 
 
 peace, 
 
 With His blessedness immortal and complete. 
 He is coming, O my spirit! and His coming 
 
 brings release 
 I listen for the coming of His feet. 
 
 Lyman Allen. 
 
 It is not the things we have to bear that give us 
 the most sorrow; it is the spirit in which we bear 
 them that causes the great trouble. 
 
 Deep malice makes too deep incision, 
 Forget, forgive. 
 
 Shakespeare. 
 
 "Life my be lived with so fine a grace, 
 That the music of life is interpreted 
 In the lines of a wrinkled face." 
 
 18 
 
And the love my heart would speak, 
 
 I fold in the lily's rim, 
 That the lips of the blossom, more pure and meek, 
 
 May offer it up to Him. 
 
 -Ina Coolbrlth. 
 
 When one errs from ignorance he merits pity; 
 but when he errs wilfully let us be sparing in our 
 reproaches, for all men have human sensibilities. 
 
 The reading of novels confines the thoughts of 
 men to things below; the perusal of the Bible 
 raises them to things above. William Downey. 
 
 O, weep no more! yet there is balm 
 In Gilead! Love doth ever shed 
 Rich healing where it nestles spread 
 
 O'er desert pillows some green palm.

A voice from the lily-bells calling,

 The Lord of the flowers comes near! 
 O awake! in the field and woodland, 
 The Maker of blosoms is here." 
 
 Jessie O'Dormell. 
 
 To educate the heart, one must be willing to 
 go out of himself, and to come into loving con- 
 tact with others. James Freeman Clark- 
 
 
 
 |/ O keep not your kindness for my cold, dead brow ! 
 My path is lonely let me feel your kindness now, 
 Think kindly of me I am travel-worn; 
 My faltering feet are pierced with many a thorn; 
 For friendship and for love I plead 
 When dreamless rest is mine I shall not need 
 The sympathy for which I long to-day, 
 To give some brightness to my weary way. 
 
 18 
 
Trials must and will befall; 
 
 But, with humble faith, to see 
 Love inscribed upon them all, 
 
 This is happiness to me. 
 
 Cowper. 
 
 "Cur greatest glory is not in never falling, but 
 in rising every time we fall.**

 Christianity will some day summon Science to 
 the bar of the world's judgment as her strongest 
 witness and most hopeful ally. Spurgeon.

Boys flying kites haul in their white-winged birds; 
 You can't do that way when you're flying words. 
 Thoughts unexpressed may sometimes fall back 
 
 dead, 
 
 But God himself can't kill them when they're said 
 
 mil Carlton. 
 
 Sorrow is the mere rust of the soul. Activity 
 will cleanse and brighten it. 
 
 Tis better to live rich than to die rich. Dr.

 When everything goes dead wrong.

 An artificial flower is scarcely to be distinguished 
 from a genuine one; but put them out in a drench- 
 ing shower, and the difference is immediately dis- 
 cerned. 
 
 There is both an outer and an inner life; the 
 outer life lies open to the observations of the many 
 .... We do not know our most intimate friends, 
 and we ourselves are often made painfully con- 
 scious of the fact that we are not understood. 
 We are misjudged and must walk alone. We 
 all know what it is to walk alone. W . W. Case. 
 
 The air for the wing of a sparrow, 
 The brush for the robin and wren,

 Be worthy, O brother, be worthy, 
 For a God was the price of the world. 
 Joaquin Miller. 
 
 
 Charity and personal force are the only two in- 
 vestments worth anything. Whitman. 
 
 It is my habit, I hope I may say my nature

 heart I thank him heartily for setting me such a 
 hearty example. Borvden Green. 
 
 "A plant in the window grew and grew, 
 But it yielded naught that was fair to view; 
 Till at last one- day a flower fair 
 Like a spirit of beauty rested there.

 A soul of the loveliest, rarest mold, 
 And blossom time comes, be it soon or late, 
 For him who has patience to work and wait.'*

 And Love be mine so that I may 
 "Plant roses all along the way."

 Makes glad a weary way."

 cold iron.

 The love that blossoms through ; 
 His care of the birds and lilies

 O, hushed by the tender lesson, 
 
 My God, let me rest in Thee.'*

 O youth! for years so many and so sweet, 
 
 Twas known that thou and I were one; 
 I'll think it but a fond conceit 
 
 What strange disguise hast now put on 
 To make believe that thou hast gone? 
 
 I see these locks in silvery slips 
 But springtide blossoms on thy lips, 
 
 And tears take sunshine from thine eyes; 
 Life is but thought; so think I will: 
 
 That youth and I are house-mates still. 
 
 Coleridge.

The way is short, O friend, 
 
 That reaches out before us; 
 God's tender heavens above us bend,

 For sorrow or for laughter; 
 I'll lay the hand you love in yours 
 
 On the shores of the Hereafter.

 And great that seeks God's will.'*

 They might be nothing, but they are all.

 Led by a tender hand, 
 The happy kingdom in myself, 
 
 And dare to take command. 
 
 Louisa M. Alcott.

 In this matter-of-fact world take care not to 
 part with all your sentiment. You will need it, 
 as you go along, to sweeten your daily living, and 
 it is also a good thing to carry into old age. 
 
 "Let the falling out of friends be the renewing 
 of affection." 
 
 The soul's dark cottage battered and decayed 
 Lets in new light through chinks that time has made. 
 
 Waller.

!f\Yi/J Forgive and forget! Why the world would be 
 1'AM/ lonely, 
 
 The garden a wilderness left to deform, 
 
 If the flowers but remembered the killing breeze 
 
 only, 
 
 And the fields gave no verdure for fear of the 
 storm. Charles Swain. 
 
 "If Heaven had looked upon riches to be a 
 valuable thing, it would not have given them to 
 scoundrels." 
 
 Or rich or poor, it matters not, 
 Where sweet contentments reign; 
 
 The majesiy of wealth is but 
 A fiction of the brain. 
 
 H. C. Watte. 
 
 "God gives us all some small sweet way, 
 To set the world rejoicing." 
 
 All service ranks the same with God, 
 There is no last nor first. 
 
 Browning. 
 
 
Do all the good you can, to all the people you 
 can, in all the ways you can, and as long as you 
 can. Selected. 
 
 Let fate do her worst; there are relics of joy, 
 Bright dreams of the past, which she cannot 
 
 destroy ; 
 
 Which come in the night-time of sorrow and care, 
 And bring back the features that joy used to wear. 
 Long, long, be my heart with such memories filled ! 
 Like the vase, in which roses have once been 
 
 distilled 
 You may break, you may shatter the vase if you 
 
 will, 
 
 But the scent of the roses will hang round it still. 
 
 Moore. 
 
 "A friend is not truly known and loved, 
 Till known and loved in God." 
 
 If we love those we lose, can we altogether lose 
 those we love?

I cannot always know and understand 
 
 The Master's rule; 
 I cannot always do the tasks He gives 
 
 In life's hard school; 
 But I am learning with His help to solve 
 
 Them one by one, 
 And when I cannot understand, to say 
 
 "Thy will be done." 
 
 Gertrude Custer. 
 
 Covet nothing that is thy neighbor's, except 
 kindness of heart, and gentleness of manners. 
 Henry Van

 "To know that man is greater than his acts, 
 to believe in him, in spite of his wrong doing, this 
 is to love God whom we have not seen." 
 
 "The thing that goes the farthest 
 
 Toward making life worth while, 
 That cost the least, and does the most, 
 Is just a pleasant smile."

"Rock a bye, baby, the meadow's in bloom; 
 May never the frosts pall the beauty in gloom; 
 Be thy world ever bright as today it is seen; 
 Rock a bye, baby, thy cradle is green." 
 
 "I want it said of me by those who knew me 
 best that I always plucked a thistle and planted 
 a flower, where I thought a flower would grow." 
 Abraham Lincoln. 
 
 O, let us be glad we're living yet; 
 The sun runs round and the rain is wet 
 
 And the bird flip-flops its wing; 
 Tennis and toil bring an equal sweat; 
 It's so much trouble to toil and fret, 
 
 So easy to laugh and sing. 
 
 Edmund Vance Cooe. 
 
 He that forgets his friend is ungrateful to him, 
 But he that forgets his God, is ungrateful to him-

 True politeness is to do and say 
 The kindest things in the kindest way." 
 
 "From the lowest depths there is a path to the 
 loftiest heights." Carlyle. 
 
A rose to the living is more 
 
 Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead; 
 In filling love's infinite store, 
 A rose to the living is more, 
 If graciously given before 
 
 The hungering spirit is fled, 
 A rose to the living is more 
 
 Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead. 
 
 Nixon Waterman. 
 
 It makes no difference whether we live or die, 
 we are in the presence of God. George Elliot. 
 
 
 "The sweet remembrance of the just 
 
 Shall flourish when he sleeps in dust." 
 In every parting there is an image of death.

"Keep a watch on your words, my darling, 
 
 For words are wonderful things, 
 They are sweet like the bee's sweet honey, 
 Like the bee's they have terrible stings." 
 "It is not what we read but what we remember 
 
 that makes us learned, 
 It is not what we intend but what we do, that 
 
 makes us useful, 
 
 It is not a few faint wishes, but a life-long strug- 
 gle that makes us valiant." 
 
 Henry Ward Beecher. 
 
 "We find the world as it finds us, and if you 
 look at it through 'rose colored glasses,' you will 
 find this dear old planet fairly overflowing with 
 good-natured, cheery-faced folks, who will be glad 
 to see you." 
 
 "If pain afflict, or wrong oppress, 
 
 If cares distract, or fears dismay, 
 If guilt deject, if sin distress, 
 
 In every case, still watch and pray."
