On the river of life as I float along
I see with the spirit’s sight
That many a nauseous weed of wrong
Has root in a seed of right,
For evil is good that has gone astray,
And sorrow Is only blindness,
And the world is always under the sway
Of the changeless law of kindness.
The commonest error that truth can make
Is shouting its sweet voice hoarse,
And sin is only the soul’s mistake
In miedireeting its force,

And love, the fairest of all fair things :
That ever to man descended,
Grows rank with nettles and pois’nous stings
Unless it is watched and tended.
There could not be anything better than this
Old world in the way it begun,
And, though some m atters have gone amiss
From the great original plan.
And however dark the skies may appear,
And however souls may blunder,
I tell you i4 aii will work out clear,
For good lies over and under.

Aud we dream that the right shall rise white over

A monument for the soldiers!
And what will ye build it of?
Can ye build it of marble or brass or bronte,
Outlasting the soldiers’ love?
Cun ye glorify it with legends
As grand as their bloodAgith writ
From the inmost shrine u rth is land of thine
To the outmost verge of it?
And the answer came: We would build it
Out of our hopes made sure
And out of our purest prayers and tears
And out of our faith secure.
We would build it out of the great white
truths
Their death hath sanctified,
And the sculptured forms of the men in arms
And their faces ere they died.
And what heroic figures
Can the Bculptor carve in Btone?
Can the marble breast be made to bleed
And the marble lips to moan?
Can the marble brow be fevered
And the marble eyes bo graved
To look their last as the flag floats past J
On the country they have saved?
And the answer came: The figures
Shall be all brave and fair

And as befitting, as pure and white
As the stars above their gravel

Whereon the laurel lies
Bequeath us right to guard the flight
Of the old flag in the skies!

Inheritance for the paltry joys of a
passing hour. Watch him, 1 say, and
there will come a time when he will
“come to himself’— nye, come to him
self, disgusted with himself ami the
world, a disappointed man; for alu la
not the finding of one’s lil»erty, but
rather the forging of one’s chain.—Rev.
Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, Evangelist.
