AMERICA'S GREAT ASSETS TOLD
IN PORTLAND MINISTER'S SERMON
Rev. Walter Benwell Hinson Declares War Is Still On in Tais Country, but Says It Is Battle Between Greed,
Oppression, Poverty and the Helpless of Today.

GREAT are the assets or th. Ameri
can people. Territorially w. loom
no large that f w. were to put
the population of th. world Into -th.
single state of California, th. popula
tion of that atate would not be so
dens, as Is that of Belgium. And If
w. were to people the state of Texas
as thickly as England Is peopled, we
should have sum. UO.OOO.OuO people la
Texas alone.
Th. resources of this great peopl.
ar. marvelous also. It baa been esti
mated that there la cultivated land
rnou-h la the United States to sustain
one billion of a population, and that
la a single state of th. Cnlun there ar.
resources enough to sustain the In
habitants of the whole world. What a
land! Two hundred million acres of It
good wheat land! Coal fields running
Into th. hundred thousands of square
miles, and half th. silver and half the
g"M of all the world ar. In th. United
Mates tontght-
Our asset in mechanical skill is large
lnd.-ed. England Issues more patents
than any other nation. But America
outdoes England four to one In th. us.
of patented mechanical appliance. Jd
Herbert tpeucer: "In respect to me
chanical appliances, America Is ahead
of all nations.' And th. language That
w. speak la an Important asset also,
tomlng to us aa It does out of the past
from Itume. from Greece and moat of
th. Continental nations of old Europe.
As Wlesa, the Grrman. said, "The on.
language, of all the languages ever ex
isting, best fitted to become a world
language.
Government Ic Magnificent.
Magnificent Is the government under
which w. live and do our life work.
Gladstone talking- about the Constitu
tion of this Nation asserted once. "The
most wonderful production ever struck
off at a given time by th. brain and
purpose of man." And Arnold has told
us Th. government of th. United
States Is the only eventual government
for the nations of the earth."
The hltory of this p-xple aTso Is of
value. Not long on th. contrary, short
but sliort though It be. it Is brilliant.
No need to blush for th. Pilgrim
Fathers who crossed the sens that they
might find freedom t worship God. No
cause to blush at the mention of those
farmers who fired the shot heard round
the world then, and heard round the
world sti.l. to the disturbing of all
tyranny. No need to blush bvcause of
th. mention of th. names of those men,
who half a century ago marched
brother faring brother each willing to
do th. light as he saw the right and
let It be untierntood. ere we drass breath
in this tentent-e. that ti e old antagonism
has b.-n b'irle.l beyond all resurrection,
for when, in the Spanish War. the des
oafuieala cl tha mm a, wba wore tha
flying to aviation. Woodruff has organ
ised the New Tork Aero Club, with
grounds near Garden City. Mrs. Wood
ruff baa become th. moat .ntnuslastlo
of pasaenger aviators. f-h. waa th.

A delayed romano. has developed In
England In th. marriage of Marjorl.
Cunard to Robert Vernon Harcourt. a
well-known member of Fnrllament.
They bsve been engaged for two yeara.
but Mlaa Cunard'i health prevented the
wedding. Mls Cunsrd belongs to th.
well-known family of steamship people,
and Is considered a great beauty.
Mrs. Adolph Ladenburg- baa gone to

exciting experience with th. surgeons.
Shortly after ber return from abroad
last month. Mrs. Ladenburg was discov.

-uouup saw 11 prs spta oeu-xisni
strated to all th. world that there la no
East, and no West, no North, and no
South In America, but It l America
united forever.
Iet us understand also that the pro
gTess of this great peopl. Is an asset
not to be overlooked. Bryce, th. Brlt
lali Ambassador, has told us that Amer
ica marks the hlghwater of material
wellbelng and Intellectuality and hap
piness th. race has yet attained. Let
us think of It with gratitude to the
Eternal, that In material wellbelng. In
Intellectual attainment, and In personal
and National happiness. It has pleased
God to give us the precedence of all
the peoples en earth.
One Asaot Important.
And in th. destiny that la marked
out for this great country there Is an
asset that might well make us solemn.
Tou read In your school books bow
long sgo Smith said. "Empire Is to be
transferred from Europe to America."
Now your children are hearing It said
on .very side. "As goes America, so
goes the world." I tell yon In this high
destiny there lies our solemn duty. For
God has given It to the people of this
country to solve th. great problems of
humanity. To show that "Government
of th. people, by th. people, for th.
peopl. can becom. a conspicuous suo
csa; to manifest th. mutual obliga
tions between class anl class, and capi
tal and labor; and make of this Ilepubilo
a nation that shall be as a biding
plao. from th. tsmprst to all th.
weary and a f Qlc ted peoples under God's
starry sky.
And the aaaeta of this nation are so
great that every American ought to
sing:
Mr eountrrt 'tis of this.
erei Una ef liser-ty.
Of t&e I sing.
And .very American ought to pray:
Oar fathers' Cod! t. thee.
ttlhor of liberty,
r t a mm slos
Lnnff mV our Und be bright,
With freedoms ho;y lisht.
Protect us by thy might.
Great God. oar King!
However, greater assets than those
I have mentioned belong to this Amer
ican people. For that patriotlern la of
a low order. Indeed, that talks of noth
ing but Its atandlng army, and Its ever
enlarging navy; that Is only conspic
uous in the flaunting of banners, and
In th. beating of drums, and th. blars
of trumpets. For other nations have
waxed great In resources, and in pos
sessions. They have risen to great em
inence of power, and from those same
mountains they bar. been burled Into
ruin, chaos and destruction. And th.
chief thought In th. patriotism of th.
American peopl. must never be the
largeness of our territory; th. ampli
tude of our resources; th. marvel of our
skill In things mechanical; th. brilli
ancy of our history: th. magnificence of
our destiny, for I tell you, sirs, unless
we slly the spiritual to th. material,
the future history of this Nation will
not be so great and so blessed as the
past has been. For there Is a patriot
laovof th.cvHe.gv mores Important than
X v
known to her friends, sh. Was rushed
to a hospital and undorwent a success
ful operation.
On. of the most beautiful women In
the world has Just died. She was Mme,
Lanthelme. a Parisian nct-.ees. The
daughter of parents of no distinction,
she achieved a reputation by her talent,
and within the last year she has been
acclaimed the most beautiful woman In
France. Ph. was drowned accidentally
In th. Rhln. near th. frontier of Hol
land. I Th. former Empress Eugenie of
Trance now lives at her country home
In Farnborough. England. Though of
Spanish birth, she Is half British, for
her mother was Mary Klrkpatrlck. of
Closeburn. Bcotland. Bh. was married
to Emperor Napoleon III In January.
1HIJ. and fled from Paris when h. was
dethroned. 6he Is now a gentle little
lady of S. This portrait of her was
mad. soma time ago.
the Jingoism of a Congreas. There Is a
patriotism of th. ballot, more Impor
tant than th. patriotism of th. bullet.
And what w. need In this country Is
to base our patriotism In th. home. In
th. school. In the church. In the ever
lasting principles of God that make for
righteousness and for stability. All
honor to that man who has gone up and
down th. breadth of this country and
bas asserted everywhere Vie holiness
and the sacredness of th. American
home.
It were an easy thing- to sneer at
Theodore Hoosevelt. It were a more
difficult thing- to duplicate blm. And
we need to learn the lesson that It la
In th. home, the rlalng race of Ameri
cans must learn reverence, respect for
law, for order, and for "authority, or
else th. citlsensblp of th. future in this
countray will heroine leas worthy. And
thla higher patriotism ought to be
taught in the school. There la no land
In this world. I believe, where the flag
so continuously floats above the school
house, as It does In these United States.
And It is a good thing that It so floate;
for our children who ar. growing; up
to b. th. men and th. women -of th.
future, must b. taught hat this re
public was founded upon deep said sol
emn, facts and principles. We should
tell 'them that the day came In the
history of this peopl. when God sail
I am tired of Kings.
I cherish thm no more.
Vp to my ear each morning Brings,
The outrage of tha poor,
Ir angel, his name la Freedom.
Choose him for your King.
W. must go down deep Into th. gTeat
truths of the eternal God. If our promi
nence as a Nation Is to be guaranteed.
Oh. we have the wide-spreading terri
tory; but we need to 1111 it up with
men, and with men In whom ther. is
very much man I We hav. the resources
nobody can estimate their value but
w. need the wisdom to use these colos
sal resources wisely and well. We have
the skill direct gift from God but w.
need the sympathy that will cause us
rightly to use the skill for the good of
all. and not for the aggrandizement of
th. few. We have th. government; but
It behooves you snd me to see that th.
old standards of righteousness, and
honesty, and purity, and fair play, and
Integrity, ar. maintained among us in
the future ss they were maintained In
the paat.- For America is menaced not
by Japan, as a Hobson would tell you;
not by Mexico, as th. yellow press
would suggest for Japan cannot barm
us, and ilexlco It not to be feared. But
If ever this Nation totters down to
ruin. It will go down, not because of
foes external, but because of enemies
inside th. household. And what we
need In these days, when these menaces
to our National lifs are all about us. Is
to pray for wisdom that wo may right
ly us. th. strength with which we hav.
been endowed, and so live In acoord
with the everlasting laws of God, that
our permanence as a people may be
assured.
Lastly I call your attention not to
the great assets; nor to the greater as
sets; but to the greatest asset of this
American people, A4 tha greatest
Insane Is h. of brain or of heart who
denies the assertion the greatest asset
of America today is the strong, wise,
pure character of Its citizenship. Foe to
American Institutions is any man, any
society, any thing that would sap the
moral fiber from the character of our
American men and women. And a
friend to all American institutions la
any man, any order, any system that
tends to the building up of the charac
ter of our citizenship.
Personal Appeal Heard.
Right her. lies the personal appeal
to you and to me. For as the units
make the mass, and as the individuals
make the multitude, so In this call to
character as a safeguard, of the Re
public, there comes the appeal to
you and me to live rightly, so that, so far
as in us lies America may be kept In
Its true orbit the orbit decreed for It
by th. Almighty God and not b. al
lowed to wander therefrom and be
come as a lost star wandering away
Into blackness. So I say the call Is to
every man and woman listening to my
voice to undergo restraint wherein
that restraint will help make the char
acter braver, stronger and purer and
to do it for the sake of the National
life. Tou read last week In one of
your newspapers how a prominent wo
man In one of the states said, as she
repudiated a certain duty: "What has
the state ever done for me T' Madam,
the state has done so much for you
that you cannot compute It; and your
business Is to go out and bend all the
energies of body, mind and soul. Into
tb. task of paying back to the state
the magnificent gift that the state
has exhausted upon you. And this
thought that our individual character
adds to the strength of the Republic
should bring us under the constraint
of living the kind of life that will
strengthen and bless American Insti
tutions and keep them pure and wise
and strong.
For the men who have done most
for this Republic have not been th.
men who lived under materiallstlo
Ideals. Thank God, however much we
may have turned aside to worship th.
golden calf, we still believe that an
Agassis weighs more In moral worth
than a Plerpont Morgan; that a Helen
Gould Is of more consequence to Amer
ica than an Anna Gould whatever her
present name may be and we still be
lieve that one Lincoln Is worth as many
Rockefellers aa would fill the State of
Texas. And we have got to go on
believing this; that It is In the realm
of the Ideal; that it Is in the realm of
th. moral; that It Is In the realm of
the spiritual, the chief strength of this
Nation inheres. And all these great
movements In the world tonight, and
all these appeals ascending the starry
sky to the ears of God from the down
trodden and the poor and the handi
capped what ar. they but cries from
the great heart of humanity for char
acter in us, and in all of us. that will
insure the safeguarding of us all.
O Clod, for a man with bead, heart, hand
Like ons of the simple great ones gone
For ever and ever by;
Oome .still, stronc men In thla blatant land;
Whatever they call him what care I.
Aristocrat, democrat, autocrat, one

out lor tne repienisiuu
Dreadnoughts; It is not calling out for
millionaires to stalk across It In their
private cars; but It is calling for what
vnn snri I can Droduce and glvs; It Is
calling for character.
Christ Leading Character Maker.
And knowing as I do that the great
est asset of th. American people Is
character. I call you. to Jesus Christ,
whose specialty Is character making.
W. have had great leaders of thought
- ,. enn. and their words sr.
a part of the legacy that has come down
to us from the ages. But wnen 11 comes
to the producing of an all-round, wis
beautiful, strong, firm, enduring char
acter, all the world knows Christ tow
ers above all other teachers as a moun
tain above mole hills. Therefore, let
Us keep America Christian. I talk not
of denomlnatlonalism; nor in my
thought Is there much plnce given to
mere eecleslastlclsm; but I am asking
for a sustentatlon and perpetuation of
these principles that make strong the
National life. Let us safeguard the
Nation. , .
Let us learn to be true down into the
unseen movements of the heart, and
wishes of the mind. Bnd thoughts of
the brain. Let us strive at whatever
hardship to say the true word, and do
the deed wo know to be the honorable
deed. Let us be Christian In our home
life, our social life, our business life,
our national life. Let us add our little
quota to the greatest asset of this great
people namely character. You remem
ber how fifty years ago this country
was menaced when the surging tide of
war moved to and fro across these
states. Tou remember how it was
given to a woman then to write a hymn
that generations following hav. called
the "Battle Hymn of the Republic?"
I tell you war Is still on In this coun
try. War between greed, heartless, cold
and cruel; and oppression, and poverty,
and the helpless. Great foes are
threatening our individual, our home,
our secular, our national life. And still
I believe there Is reason that we re
member Julia Ward Howe's hymn, for
looking abroad and reading the signs
of the time, the true patriot can pray
erfully say:
Mine eyos have seen the Klrry
or the coming of the Lord:
lie la trampling out tha vintage
Where tha grapea of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of hie tembla swift eword.
Ilia truth la marching on.
And still there is occasion for th.
American man to rise up on the pin
nacle of a tru. patriotism, where the
heart will cry:
In the beauty of tha lilies
Christ was born across the sea.
With a g-lory'ln his bosom
That transfigures you and ma.
As ha died to make men holy.
I.t us die to maka men free.
While God Is marching on.
And If wo only abld. true to these
things that enter Into the establish
ment of the Union's power and pros
perity, no fo. can harm us; nothing
from outside can rend us into discord
ant pieces, and so spoil the grand har
mony of our national life. For God Is
on the side of right; and God is multi
tudinous above all th. teeming popula
tions of the world; and a nation can
not be too optimistic that abides by
these same eternal laws of righteous
ness and truth, and therefore wa may
say:
He hath sounded forth tha trumpet
Thatshall never cull retreat;
He la sifting out the hearta of man
Before hla Judgments-seat.
O he awtft my aoul to answer him!
Ha Jubilant, my feet!
Our God la marching on.

The Glory of Clementina, by William J.
Locke. Illustrated. il.3i. John Lane Co..
New York City.
Well may WriHlam J. Locke be called
the .apostle of cheerfulness. Here Is the
newest of his sunshiny novels, and It Is
as welcome as the sun Is bright, or as
the sight of a nurse to a wornout pa
tient. In this old world of knocks and
love, we get too many dark views, and
a good friend like Clementina brings us
again to the birds, the sunshine and the
flowers.
A most" curious, original heroine is
Miss Clementina Wing, artist, old maid
and smoker of cigarettes: "Her coarse,
black hair straggled perpetually In uncared-for
strands between fortuitous
hairpins. Her complexion was dark and
oily: her nose had never been powdered
since its early Infancy, and her face,
even when she walked abroad, was often
disfigured, as it was now, by a smudge
of paint. She had heedlessly suffered
thi Invasion of lines and wrinkles. She
dressed habitually In any old blouse,
any old skirt, any old hat picked up
at random In bedroom or studio, and
picked up originally, with equal lack of
selection. In any miscellaneous empo
rium of feminine attire. Her figure
made women whiBper to each other, but
never to Clementina."
Clementina is a London artist, and
the latter city is much In evidence in
the novel. Years previous to the open
ing of the story, Clementina was en
gaged to be married to an estimable
young man who became r.ixed up on
a charge of robbery, and his suicide fol
lowed. This hardened the girl, and she
was never the same afterwards. She be
came what Is known as "original" and
cynical. Her pet young man chum Is
Tommy Burgrave, who is slangy and
likeable. His -uncle is Dr. Ephraim
Quixtus, of Heidelberg, whose' wife died
after she had been involved In a scan
dal with a Mr. Hammersley. Ir. Quix
tus Is middle aged and inclined to be un
happy and morbid. He needs to be toned
up, and Clementina, with her wit and
cleverness, is the artist who makes him
over, mentally speaking. Hammersley
died suddenly and he gives his only
chlldv Sheila, who was born in Shang
hai, to be brought up and educated by
Clementina and Dr. Quixtus. one-an old.
maid and the other a kindly crank and
bookworm.
Chella proves to be Just the medicine
required to bring the curiously assorted
pair together, and they adopt her. Then
they get married. Here is a picture f
the new Dr. and Mrs. Quixtus:
And toward the end of October the oddly
mated pair were married and Clementina
went to her husband'a home; and the pat
ter of the feet of the beloved child of their
adoption waa heard abont the houae and
great Joy fell upon them. ,
One day In the early Spring, Quixtua burst
into the atudio, a letter In hla hand. The
greatest of all honors that the civilised
world has to give to the acholar had fallen
on hira honorary m-mberahlp of the In
atitut de Franca. 3he must know It at
onco. r
She was aittlne; before tha eaael. a bit of
charcoal In hand, absorbed In her draw
ing. What he aaw on the drawing paper
put, for the moment, the Inatitut of France
out of hla mind. Two arma came from
the vague, headleae trunk of a draped
woman; one arm clnsped Sheila, a" living
portrait, and the other eomelhlna; all chub
by, ktasable curves, such aa Murillo haa
rendered immortal. Aa soon aa ahe waa
aware of hla presence she 'tore the sheet
from the board and looked at him some
what defiantly. Us went op and put bia
arm around her.
"My dear," said he, '1 aaw. Too"re the
only woman in the world that could have
done It. Let ma look. I can ah are it with
you. dear."
She yielded. His delicate perception of
the Innermost aweetnesa of Ufa waa in
finitely dear to her. She aet the drawing
upright on the ledge. Ho drew a chair
close to her and sat down and ha forgot
the crowning glory of his Intellectual life.
"It's not bad of Sheila, Is it?" ahe aald.
"And tha otheraf"
Bha kissed him. "The vary Image. It's
bound to be."
Presently aha laughed and said:
"I"va been thinking of the good Saint
Paul lately. Ha haa a lot to say about
glory. Do -you remember? About the
glory of celestial bodies and bodlea ter
rcstrlal. 'There la one glory of the sun,
and another glory of tha moon, and an
other glory of tha atara.' But there la ono
glory which that eminent bachelor never
dreamed of."
-And what Is that, my dear?" asked
Quixtua
"The glory of being a woman!" aald
Clementina.
Old Age Deferred, by Dr. Arnold Lorand.
Si 60. F. A. Davis Co., Philadelphia, Pa.
Dr. Lorand Is an International au
thority on matters connected with
health, and Is also well known as
physician to the baths at Carlsbad, Aus
tria. This book of his is a noted one,
has given rise to profound discussion,
and th. present volume belongs to the
tnlrd edition, which is a translation
wtih additions by the author from th.
third German .ditlon.-
Never was a message more) welcome
to .the human race than this: Dr. Lo
rand,. by natural and sensible means,
teaches us how to keep young and defy
what is known as old age. "While It
is still impossible for us to create a
young man out of an old one, it is
quite within the bounds of possibility,
as we shall endeavor to demonstrate,"
promises our author; "to prolong our
term of usefulness by 10 or 20 years.
In other words, wa need no longer
grow old at 40 or BO; we may live to
the age of 90 or 100 years, instead of
dying at 60 or 70." In short. Dr. Lo
rand fights off the causes of old age
and its postponement by hygienic and
therapeutic measures, believes in a cur.
by both body and mind, and takes aa
nla motto that, wlae -.saying -of. SenecaJ
V t W 5'
I u mr
.2s

"I

"Man does not. die he kills himself."
Dr. Lorand's advice is based on evi
dence of a scientific nature, and he
points out that the change from waste
ful age can be effected "by the ob
servance of certain hygienic measures,
and by improving the functions of a
certain few of the glandular "structures
of our bodv, provided Incurable or
ganic disorders have not already too
gravely compromised one -or more of
our main organs. Old age Is a chronio
disease, due to degeneration of the
glands with internal secretions fre
quently referred to as the ductless
glands of the thyroid, the sexual
glands and the adrenals in particular.
This degeneration is amenable to
treatment. Just as are chronic diseases
in general. If by my advice, I succeed
In saving but a single human life
from a premature grave, my aim will
have been attained."
Mental health, good thoughts, sensi
ble exercise, what to eat and above all,
the natural and regular expulsion of
..n4,,,a frrtm ttiA hndv. these
aaio j.vvvi' iu vh.
are the principal subjects presented
along tne line 01 a cure, h 10 mi
esting to note that Dr. Lorand advises
the passage of a law enforcing the
medical examinations of the prospec
tive husband and wife, so that it could
be determined whether such marriages
were wise. Equally interesting are
medical passages quoted from the an
cient Mosaic laws, and advice given as
the wisdom of the beneficent institu
tion we know of as marriage. The
habit of steady physical and mental
work in moderation is shown to have
a beneficent hygienic effect, and the
value of religious belief is extolled.
It is comforting to know that ab
sence of worry and anxiety prolong
life, but disquieting to read this:
"If I were asked for the best means
of living to be 100 years old. I would
say, become a peasant or a pauper and
be received Into an English work
house (almshouse). . . They have no
anxieties about getting their daily
bread, and often are fed better than
they would be in their own homes.
They need not worry about their for
tunes, for they have none. Frugality,
fresh air, no worries!"

settlements where lawyers cannot be
conveniently reached.
An acquaintance with its pages, will
also save many a lawyer's bill of
charges, and its wisdom may be in
voked with safety, as the forms given
have "stood the gaff" of the courts
and have met with approval by stand
ard authorities. Lawyers will be
saved, by reference to its pages, many
hours of weary search for precedent,
and they will be quick to recognize
that at the end of each chapter, are
given Supreme Court decisions for
the conclusions reached. The chapters
are 40, and the subjects are: Accounts,
acknowledgments, affidavits, agree
ments, assignments, bills and notes,
bills of sale, bonds, chattel mortgages,
child labor, claims, contracts, convey
ances, corporations, estrays, exemp
tions, fences, interest, landlord and
tenant, leases, legal holdings, liens,
limitation of actions, limited partner
ships, location of mines, lost and un
claimed property, married women, min
ors and infants, options, personal
property, powers of attorney, receipts
and releases, sale of merchandise in
bulk, surveys, wills, Justice of the peace
and constables, constable's official
bond, attachment, civil arrest and
claim and delivery. Once the layman
understands that he can open the book
and copy from It nearly any descrip
tion of a legal paper, without a visit to
a law office, then the book will come
' into its own.
Much care and industry have been
expended on the preparation of these
832 pages and the book Is unique in
Oregon. It is pleasant to be able to
record that its sales are already very
encouraging, and that 600 copies of it
were sold when the book was only In
manuscript. It has a legal appear
ance, the matter is neatly and clearly
printed, and the index conveniently
arranged.
College Pays Easays, by Reuben Alonzo Glb
aon. IIj Nixon-Jones Printing Co., St.
Louis, Mo.
Quite a curiosity in its way, this book
of 151 pages takes us back to the days
of 1S64 to 1867, and makes us acquainted
with views that -sound strange to our
modern understanding and habit o
viewing public questions. How public
opinion haa changed since then. There
are 11 essays in the book, and they are
well written, but only possess personal
value at the present time because of
the personality of the author and local
Interest in and around St. Louis, Mo.
For instance, one bf the essays is on
"The Presidential Contest" of 14, ond
the main argument Is' that Abraham
Lincoln should not be re-elected, but
thatr-io-ha C, Fremont-sTbould, JjO; -chosen
,
D
as President. The statement Is made!
"That Fremont possesses military ge
nius is evident from the rapidity and
successes of his movements, which ap
proach nearer to those of Napoleon
Bonaparte ' than those of any other
American General that ever took the
field." Stuff!

"The Lost Chord."
Adelaide Anne Proctor.
Seated one day at the organ.
I was weary and 111 at ease.
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys:
I know not what I was playing
Or what I was dreaming then:
But I struck one chord of music.
Like the sound of a great amen.
It flooded the crimson twilight
Like the close of an angel's psalm.
And it lay on my fevered spirit
With a touch of infinite calm;
It united -jaln and sorrow. j
Like love overcoming strife.
It seemed the hannonioua echo
From our discordant Ufa.
It linked perplexing meanings
Into one perfect peace.
And trembled away Into silence.
As if it -were loth to cease:
I have sought, but I seek It vainly.
That one lost chord divine.
Which came from the soul of the organ.
And entered Into mine.
It may be that death's bright angel
Will speak that chord agalu.
It may be that only In heaven
I shall hear that grand amen.
