THEN suddenly the awe grew deep,
As of a day to which all days
Were footsteps in God's secret ways,
Until a folding sense, like prayer,

Which is, as God is, everywhere,

Gathered about thee.

D. G. Rossetti.

FOR then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear: . . . thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

Fob.

WE are wrong always, when we think too much
Of what we think or are; albeit our thoughts
Be verily bitter as self-sacrifice,

We're no less selfish. If we sleep on rocks
Or roses, sleeping past the hour of noon,
We're lazy.

THEN Welcome each rebuff

E. B. Browning.

That turns earth's smoothness rough,

Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go!

Robert Browning.

WE can never replace a friend.

When a man is fortu

nate enough to have several, he finds they are all

different.

ALTER? When the hills do.

Falter? When the sun

Question if his glory

Be the perfect one.

Surfeit? When the daffodil

Doth of the dew:

Even as herself, O Friend!

I will of you!

Schiller.

Emily Dickinson.

WHAT we all want is inward rest, rest of heart and brain the calm, strong, self-contained, self-denying character; strong enough to use God's gifts without abusing them; the character, in a word, which is truly temperate in all desires, thoughts, and actions.

Charles Kingsley.

LIVE purely; so shalt thou acquire

Unknown capacities for joy.

Coventry Patmore.
