AT THE TABERNACLE.

Counlenauco Ii n Mirror of tlu Soul.
Most AVonderful of Ootl's Works.
Brooklyn, Fob. 25. In tho Biook
lyn Tnbcrnnclo this forenoon Rov. Dr.
Tnlrango clioso for tho subject of his
icrmon "Tho Huninn Fnco" nntl held
iis gient nutlifinco fascinated with tho
charm of his eloquence as he discoursed
on a bubject of universal interest. Tho
text was Ecclcsiastes viii, 1, "A rann's
wisdom mnkoth his face to shine, and
tho boldness of his faco shall bo chang
ed," or, as it may bo rendered, "tho
sourness of his faco shall bo sweetened."
Tims a littlo change in our English
translation brings out tho hotter mean
ing of tho text, which sets forth that
tho charaotor of tho faco is decided by
the character of tho soul. Tho main
features of onr countenanco woro decid
ed by tho Almighty, and wo cannot
change them, but under God wo decido
whether wo shall have countenances
benignant or baleful, sour or sweot,
wrathful or genial, benevolent or mean,
honest or scoundrelly, impudent or mod
est, courageous or cowardly, frank or
tneaking. In nil tho works of God there
is nothing more wonderful than tho hu
man countennnco. Though tho longest
laco is less than 12 inches from tho hair
lino of tho forehead to tho bottom of
tho chin and tho broadest faco is less
than 8 inches from cheek bono to cheek
bone, yet in that small compass God
hath wrought such differences that tho
1,000,000,000 of the human race may
lio distinguished from each other by
their facial npp-.arances.
AN INDEX OF CHARACTER.
Tho faco is ordinarily tho index of
character. It is the throno of tho emo
tions. It is the battlefield of tho pas
sions. It is tho catalogue of chnractor.
It is tho map of tho mind. It is tho
geography of tho soul. And while the
Lord decides before our birth whether
wo shall be linmlsomoor homoly wo are
by tho charactor w6 form deciding
whether onr conntonnnces shall bo pleas
ant or disagreeable. This is so much 60
that somo of tho most beautiful faces
aro unattractivo because of their arro
gance or their deceitfulness, and somo
of the most rugged and irregular fea
tures are attractive because of tho kind
ness that shines through them. Acci
dent or sickness or scarification may
veil the faco so that it shall not express
tho soul, but in tho majority ot cases
give mo a deliberate look nt a man's
countonanconnd I will tell you whether
he is a cynic or nn optimist, whether he
is a miser or a philanthropist, whether
ho is noblo or ignominious, whether ho
is good or bad. Onr first impiession ol
a man or woman is generally tho accu
rate impression. You at the first glance
make up your mind that somo man if
unworthy of your friendship, but after
ward, by circumstancps being put into
intimate association with him, you
come to like him and trust him. Yet
stay with him long enough, and you
will bocompclled to return to your orig
inal estimato of his character, but it
will bo after ho has cheated you' out of
everything ho could lay his hands on.
It is of God's mercy that wo have theso
outside indexes of character. Phronol
ogy is one index, nntl while it may be
carried to nn absurd extent there is no
doubt that you can judge somewhat of
a man's charactor by the shapo of his
head. Palmistry is another index, nnd
whilo it may bo carried into tho fanciful
and necromantic thero is no doubt that
certain lines in the palm of tho hand
aro indicative of mental and moral
traits.
BIBLE PHYSIOGNOMY,
Physiognomy is .another index, and
whilo tho contour of tho human faco
may sometimes mislead us wo can gen
erally, after looking into tho eyo and
noticing the curve of tho lip and tho
spread of tho nostril and tho correla
tion of nil tho features, como to n right
estimato of n man's character. If it
woro not bo, how would wo know whom
to trust nnd ihom to nvoid? Whether
wo will or not, physiognomy decides n
thousand things in commercial and
financial nnd social and religious do
mains. From ono lid of tho Biblp to
tho other thero is no scienco so reoog
nizod asthntof physiognomy, and noth
ing more thoroughly taken for granted
thnn tho power of tho soul to transfig
ure tho face, Tho Bible speaks of tho
"faco of 'God," tho "faco of Josug
Christ," tho "faco of Esau," tho "faco
of Israel, "tho "facoof Job," tho"faco
of the old man," the shining "faco of
Jiloses," tho wrathtul "faco of Phara
oh," tho oshea on tho fnco of humilia
tion, tho resurrectionary staff pn tho
faco of the dead child, tho hypocrites
disfiguring thoir face, and in my text
the Biblo declares, "A man's wisdom
maketh his faco to shine, nnd tho sour
ness of his faco shall bo sweetened." If
the Bible has so much to say nbout physi
ognomy, wo do not wonder that tho
world has innda it n study from tbo
early nges. In vnin the English purlin
went in tho timo of George II ordered
publicly whipped and Imprisoned those
who studied physiognomy. Intelligent
people always have Btudied it and al
ways will study it. Tho pens of Mws
and Joshua and Job and John and Paul
os well as of Homer and Hippocrates
and Galen and Aristotle and Socrates
and Plato and Lavater have been dipped
into it, nnd wbolo libraries of wheat
and chaff have been garnered on this
theme.
Now, what practical religious and
eternal use would I make of this subject?
I am going to show that whijo we are not
responsible for our features, the Lord
Almighty having decided what they
ihall bo prenatally, us tho psalmist de
clare when he writes, "In thy book all
&y members were written, which in
continuance were fashioned when as
ret there was none of them," yet the
cnaracter whjcb under God we form
Ul chiMi the face nott mightily, Ey.
cry man would like to havo been made
in appenranco nn Alcibiades, and every
womnn would like to have beon made n
Josephine. Wo nil want to bo agree
able Our usefulness depends so much
upon it that I consider it important and
Christian for every man and'woman to
bo as agreeablo as possible Tho slouch,
tho sloven, tho man who does not enro
how ho looks, all such peoplo lack
equipment for usefulness. A minister
who has to throw n quid of tobacco out
of his mouth boforo ho begins to preach
or Christians with beard untrinimed,
making them to look liko wild beasts
como out of tho lair vea. unkemnt.
hncombed, unwashed, disagreeable men
or women aro a hindrance to religion
moro than n recommendation.
A SCATHING REJOINDER.
Now, my text suggests how wo may,
independent of features, make ourselves
agreeablo, "A man's wiBdom maketh
his faco to shine, and tho sourness of his
faco shall bo sweotened. " $Vhat t say'
may como too lato for many. Their
countenanco may by long years of hard:
ncss havo been frozen into stolidity, or
by long years of crnol behavior they
may havo Herodized all the machinery
of expression, or by long years of nvarico
they may havo been Shylocked until
their faco is as hard as tho precious
metal they are hoarding, but I am in
tfmo to help multitudes if the Lord
Will. That it is possible to overcomo
disadvantages of physiognomy was in
this country mightily illustrated by one
whoso lifo recently closed after having
served in tho presidential cabinet at
Washington. By accident of firo in
childhood his faco had been moro pite
ously scarred than any human visage
that I ever saw. By hard study ho
aroso from being a poor boy to the very
height of the legal profession and when
an attorney general for the United
States was needed ho entered tho presi
dential cabinet. What a triumph over
destroyed human countenance!
I1 do not wonder that when an oppos
ing nttorupy in a Philadelphia court
room ciuelly referred to this personal
disfiguiemeiit Benjamin F. Brewster re
plied in these werds: "'When I was a
babe, I w.is a beautitul bluo eyed child.
I know this becauso my dear dead moth
er told mo no, but I was ono day play
ing with my sifcter when her clothes
took fue. nnd I ran to her relief and
saved her, but in doing so my clothes
took fire, and the fiio was not put out
until my i'reowns as blue!: as tho heart
of tho scoundrel who has just now re
ferred to my disfigurement." Heroism
conqueiing physical disabilities! That
scholarly regular features aro not neces
sary for making powerful impression
witness Paul, who photographs himself
as in "bodily prcsenco weak," nnd
George Whitefield, whoso eyes were
struck with strabismus', and Alexander
H. Stephens, who sat with pale and sick
faco in invalid's chair whilo he thrilled
tho American congress with his elo
tjuence.nnd thousandsof invalid preach
ers and Sabbath school teachers and
Christian workors. Aye, the most glori
ous being the world over saw was fore
seen by Isaiah, who described his face
bruised and gashed and scarified and
snid of him, "His visage was so marred,
moro than any man." So you seo that
tho loveliest face in the universe was a
Bcarred face.
THE BRIGHT SIDE AND THE DARK.
And now I am going to tell you of
eomo of the chisels that work for tho
disfiguration or irradiation of the hu
man countenanco. Ono of tho sharpest
and most destructive of those chisels of
the countenance is cynicism. That
sours tho disposition nnd then sours tho
face. It gives a contemptuous curl to
the lip. It draws down tho corners of
tho mouth and inflates the nostril as
with n malodor. What David said in
uasto thoy say in their deliberation, "All
men are liars," everything is going to
ruin. All men nnd women are bad or
going to be. Society and the church
are on tho down grade. Toll them of an
net of benevolence, and they say he gavo
that to advertiso himself. They do not
liko the present fashion of hats for wo
mon or of coats for men. They nro op-
posed to tho numiiustranon, municipal
and etato and national. Somehow fpod
does not tnsto as it used to, and thoy
wonder why thero are no poets or ora
tors or preachers as when they were
boys. Evon Solomon, ono of JhG wisest
and nt one time ono of the worst of
men, falls intd tho pesaimjstio .mood
and criosout in tho twenty-first chapter
of Proverbs, ""Who can find a virtuous
woman?" If he had behaved himself
totter nnd kept in good associations, he
would not havo written that interroga
tion point implyiug the scarcity of good,
womanhood. CynlciBm, If n'habit, as
It is with tens of thoueanda of peoplo,
writes itself nil over the featiirafljlnccL
eo many sour visages all up and dbwn
the street, all-up and down the chnrch
and tho woild. Ono good way to mako
Iho world worse js tp say Jt is worse
Let a depressed and foioboding opinion
of everything toko possession of you, for
20 years, and you Will be t sight to be
hold. If is the chastisement of Uod that
when a man allows hia-JjttarUtaboJ
cursed with cynicism his face becomes
gloomed and scowled nnd lacbryraosed
snd bloated with the same midnight.
ANQELO'B RUSE,
But let Christian cheerfulness try lta
rhisel upon n man's countenance. Feel
ing that all things ore for his good, and
that God rules, and that tho Bible being
true the woild'a florulization is rapidly
ipproncnlng, and tho day when beer
mug nnd demijnbn and distillery and

Michael Angelo, theeculptor, visiting
Florence, somo ono showed him in n
back yard a piece of marble that was eo
shapeless It seemed of.no use, and An
gelo wns asked if ho 'could make nny-
tning out of it, nnd if so wns told he
could own it. Tho artist took the mar
ble, and for nino months shut himself
up to work, first trying to mako of it a
Itatne of David with his foot on Go
liath, but tho marble was not quite long
enough at tho base to mako tho pros
trate form of tho giant, and so tho art
ist fashioned the marble into another
figure that is so famous for all time be
causo of Its expressiveness. A critic
came in and was askod by Angolo for
his criticism, nnd he Bnid it was beauti
ful, but tho nose of tho stntuo was not
of right shape. Angelo picked up from
tho floor somo sand and tossed it about
tho face of. the statue, pretending ho
wns using his chisel to mako the im
provement suggested by tho critic.
"What do you think of it now?" said
the artist. "Wondorfullv imnroved."
said the critic. "Well," said tho artist,
"I havo not changed it nt all." My
friends, tho grace of God comes to the
heart of n man or woman nnd then at
tempts to change a forbidding and pre
judicial faco into attractiveness. Per
haps tho face is most unpromising for
the Divine Sculptor. But having
changed tho heart it begins to wprk on
the countenance with celestial chisel.
nnd into all tho linenmonts of the face J
puts a ginaness ana an expectation mat
changes it from glory to glory, nnd
though earthly criticism may disap
prove of this or that in tho appearanco
of the faco Christ Bays of tho newly cre
ated countenanco that which Pilate said
of him, "Behold tho man!"
Hero is another mighty chisel for the
countenanco, and you may call it re
venge or hnto or malevolence. This
spirit having taken possession of the
heart, it encamps seven devils under the
eyebrows, It puts cruelty into the com
pression of the lips. You can toll from
the man's looks that ho is pursuing
somo ono and trying to get oven with
him. Thero are suggestions of Nero and
Robespierre nnd Diocletian and thumb
screws and racks all up and down the
features. Infernal artists with murder
ers' daggers have been cutting away at
that visage. Tho revengeful heart haB
built .its perdition in the revengeful
countenance. Disfiguration of diabolic
passion !
But hero comes another chisel to shape
tho countenance, and it is kindness.
Thero caino a moving day, and into her
soul moved tho wbolo family of Chris
tian graces, with all their children and
grandchildren, and tho command has
como forth from tho heavens that that
woman's, face shall be made to corre
spond with her superb soul. Hor entire
fuce from ear to ear becomes tho canvas
on which all the best artists of heaven
begin to put thoir finest strokes, and on
the small compass of that face aro put
pictures of sunrise over the son, and
angels of mercy going up nnd down lad
ders all oflnsh, and mountains ot trans
figuration und noonday in heavon. Kind
ness! It is the most magnificent sculp
tor that ever touched human counte
nance. No one could wonder at the unusual
geniality in tho fnco of William Win
dom, secretary of the tieqsury of tbo
United States, after seeing him at the
New York banquet just beforo ho drop
ped dead, turning his wineglass upside
down, saying, "I may by doing this of
fend Eome, but by not doing it I might
damage many. " Bo kind to your friends.
Bo kind to your enemies. Be kind to
tho young. Be kind to tho old. Be
kind to your rulers. Bo kind to your
servants. Bo kind to your Bjperiors.
Bo kind to your inferiors. Bo kiqd, to
your horsq, Be kind to your dog, Be
kind tq yoqr cat, Morning, noon and
night bo kind, and tbe effects of it will
bo wiitten in tho language of your face.
That is tho gospel of pbyalogDomy.
THE LION AND THE MOUSE.
A Bayonno merchant was In tho south
of Europo for bis health, nnd sitting on
tho terraco ono morning in his invalid
ism bo saw a rider flung from a horse
into tho river, and without thinking of
his own weakness tho merchant flung
off his invalid's gown and leaped into
tho stream und swam to tho drowning
man, and clutching blni as Jie wns
about (o go down tlte'laat time bore him
In eafoty to tho bank, when glancing
into tbo facoof tho rescued man bo
cried, "My God, I havo saved vay own
eon)" All .kindness comes back to us
in one way or nuotherj if not in any
other way, then In your own face. Kind
ness! BhoW it to others, for tho time
may como when you. will need it your
self. Peoplo laughed at tho lion because
bo spared the mouse that ran over him
when by ono motion of his. pa w tho mon
ster could have crashed tho insignifi
cant disturber. But it was well that
fho Hon had inercy on tb0 mouse, for
one day the Hon wun caught in a trap
anrf roared fearfully because he was
held fast by ropes. Then the mouso
gnawed off the ropes and let the lion go
free. You mov consider yourself a Hon,
but you'eannot afford to despise a mouse,
When Abraham Lincoln pardoned o
joung soldier at tbe request of his moth
er, the mother went down tbo stairs of
tbe White Houso saying: "They have
lied about the president's being home
ly, Ho is the handsomest man I ever
enw," AH over that president's rugged
face was written the kindness which
bo bo well illustrated when ho said,
"Some of our gcnoralB complain that J
impair discipline and subordination in
Ibe Hrmy by ny pardons and respites,
bnt tt makes mo' rwted alter bard
iluy's work If 1 can find some good cv
cum for saving fl man's life, and I go
to bed happier aa I think bow joyous
the signing of my name will make binj
and bia family." Kindneeal It inakea
the face toabine wbjle life lasts and aft
er death puts a anrnraer sunset letween
the still Hi and the smoothed bair that
makes ma, say sometime at obsequies,
'Bhe ewmi too beautiful to tmry.
But hero comes nuothor chisel, aud
its name is hypocrisy. Christ with ono
terrific stroko in bis sermon on tho
mount described this character, "When
yo fast, bo not ns tho hypocrites, of a
sad countenanco, for they disfigure thoir
faces that they may appear unto men to
fast." Hypocrisy having taken posses
sion of tho soul, it immediately appears
In tho countenance. Hypocrites nro al
ways solemn. Thoy carry soveral coun
try graveyards in thoir faces. They aro
tearful when thero is nothing to cry
about, and in their prayers they catch
for their breath and havo such general
dolefulncsa thut they disgust young peo
plo with religion. We had ono of them
in ono of my churches. When ho ox
orted, ho always deplored tho low Btate
of religion In othor peoplo, and when he
prayed it was an attack of hystorla, and
ho wont into a paroxysm of ohs and nhs
that seemed to demand resuscitation.
Ho went on in that way until wo had to
oxpcl him from the church for stealing
tbo property intrusted to bim as admin
istrator and for other vices that I will
not mention, and ho wrote me soveral
letters not at nil complimentary from
tho west, saying that ho was daily
praying for my everlasting destruction.
A man cannot havo hypocrisy in his
heart without somehow showing it in
his face. All intelligent peoplo who
witness It know it is nothing but a
dramatization.
Hero comes another chisol, and that
belongs to tho old fashioned religion.
It first takes possession of tho wbolo
soul, washing Out its sins by tho blood
of the Lamb and starting heaven right
thero nnd then. This done, deep down in
the heart religions says: "Now let me
go up to tho windows and front gato of
tho faco and set up somo signal that 1
havo taken possession of this castle. 1
will celebrate tbo victory by an illumi
nation that no ono can mistake. I have
made this man happy, and now 1 will
mako him look happy. I will draw tho
corners of his mouth as far up ns thoy
were drawn down. I will tako tho con
temptuous curl away from tho lip and
nostril. I will make his eyes flash and
bis cheeks glow at every mention of
Christ and heaven. I will mako oven
the wrinkles Of his faco look like fur
rows plowed tor the harvest of joy. 1
will mako what we call tho 'crow's
feet' around his temples suggestive that
the dovo of peace has been alighting
thero." Thero may bo signs of trouble
on that face, but trouble sanctified.
Thore may be scars of battle on that faco,
but thoy will bo scars of campaigns
won.
TOWER OP A FACE.
"Now, "says some one, " I know very
good people who hayo no such leligloir
in their faces." My friend, thonjason.
probnbly is that they were not con vorted,
until lato in life. Worldlincss and bin
had been at work with their chisels on
that taco for 5J0 or 40 years, and Graco,
tho divine sculptress, has been busy with
her chisel only fivo or ten years. Do not
bo surprised that Phidias and Green
ongh with their fine chisels cannot in a
short whilo removo all tho marks of tho
stone mason's crowbar, which has been
busy thero for n long whilo. I say to
all tho young, if you would havo sym
pathetic faco, hopeful face, courageous
face, cheerful face, kind face, at tbe
earliest possible momont by tho grace
of God have planted in your soul sym
pathy and hopo nnd courage and good
cheer and kindness. No man over in
dulged a gracious feeling or wns moved
by a rightepus indignntion or was stirred
by a benevolent iinpulso but its effect
was moro or less indicated In the coun
tenance, while David noticed tho physi
ognomio effect of a bad disposition when
he said, "A wicked man hnrdenoth bis
faco," and Jeremiah must have noticed
it when he 6aid of tho cruel, "They
havo made thoir faces harder than n
rook."
Oh, tho power of the human facet I
varrant that you bavo known faces so
magnetic and impressive that, though
they vanished long ago, they still hold
yon with a holy spoil. How long since
your child went? "Well," you say, "If
sho bad lived sho would have been 10
years old now, or 20 or 00 years," But
does not that infant faco still have ten
der suproinncy over your entiro nature?
During many an eventide does it not
look nt you? In your dreams do you not
see it? What n sanctifying, hallowing
Influonco it has been in your Ilfol You
can say in the words of tho poet, "Bet
ter to bavo loved and lost than never to
have loved at all," Or it may liuvo
been a eietor's faco. Perhaps ebo was
the invalid of tho family. Perhaps sho
novor wont out except on very clear
days, and then olio had to be curriod
down tho stairs to tho piazza or for n
short rido, but sho was so patient and
cheerful under it all. As that faco looks
at you through tho years with what nn
elevated nnd heavenly emotion you aro
filled. Or was it a futher's face? Tho
storms of lifo bad somewhat roughened
it. A good deal ot tho brightness of
tho eyo had been quenched, nnd tho our
was turned with the band behind it in
order to hear at all. But you remember
that faco eo vividly that if you wero an
artist you could put it on ennvus, aud
it would mean to you more than any
face that Rembrandt ever sketched.
That face, though long ago veiled from
human eight, is as plain in your memory
as though you this moment saw it mov
ing gtntly forward and backward In the I
rocking chair by tho stove in tbo old
farmhouse. Or was it your mother's
face? A good mother's face la never
homely to her boys and girls. It Is a
"Madonna" in the picture gallery of tho
memory. What a sympathetic face it
was I Did yon ever havo a joy and that
face did not respond to it? Did yon ever
bare a grlet and no tours trickled down
that maternal cheek? Did you ever do a
bad thing aud a shadow did not cross
it? Ob, jt waa a sweet facet Tbo spec
tacles with large, round glasses through
which she looked at yon, how saoredly
they have been kept in bureau or closet!
Your mother's face, yonr motbor's
smile, your mother's tears! What an
overpowering ineaioryl Though yoq
have come on to midlife or old one, bow
you would, like Juit Oftpe- mow to bury
your face In her lap nnd havo a good
eryl
But I can toll yon of n more sympa
thetic nud moro tender and moro loving
fnco thnn any of tho faces I have men
tioned. "No, you cannot," says somo
ono. I enn, nnd I will. It is tho faco
of Jesus Christ ns ho wns on earth nnd
is now in heaven. Whon preparing my
lifo of Christ, entitled "From Manger
to Throno," I ransacked tbo art gal
leries and portfolios of tbo world to find
n picturo of our Saviour's faco that
might bo most oxpressive, and I saw It
as Francesco Frnncia painted it in the
tlxteonth century, and ns tho emerald
Intaglio of tho sixth century presented
it, nnd as n fresco in tbo catacombs nonr
Rome preserved it, nnd as Leonardo da
Vinci showed it In "Tho Last Supper,"
and I looked in tho Louvro, nnd tho
Luxembourg, nnd the Vatican, nnd tbo
Dresden, and tho Berlin, nnd Neapolitan
nnd London gallories for tho most in
spiring fnco of Christ, nnd many of the
presentations wero wonderful for pathos
and majesty and power nnd execution,
but although I solected that by Ary
Scboffor as in somo respects tbo most
express! vo I folt nswoall fool that onr
Christ has nover yet been presented
either in sculpture or painting, and
that wo will havo to wait until wo rise
to tho upper palace, whore wo shall aoe
bim ns bo is.
What n goutlo faco it must havo boon
to induco tho babes to strugglo out of
thoir mother's arms into bis arms!
What an oxpresaivo faco it must hayo
been when ono reproving look of it
throw stnlwart Peter into n fit of tears 1
What a pleading faco it must havo boon
to lead tho psalmist in prayer to say
of it, "Look upon tho fnco of thino
anointed!" What n sympathetic faco It
must havo been to enconrngo tho sick
woman who was beyond any help from
tho doctors to touch tho hem of bis gar
ment! Whnt n suffering fnco it must
havo been when suspended on tho per
pendicular and horizontal pieces of tho
wood of martyrdom, and bis antagonists
slopped tho pallid cheok with their
rough hands and befouled it with tho
saliva of their blasphemous lips! What
a tremendous faco it must have been to
lead St. John to describo it iif tho com
ing judgment as scattering tho universe
when ho says. "From whoso fnco tho
earth and tho heaven lied away."
THE PACE OMNIPOTENT.
O Chrint! Onco tho Nazareno, but
now tho celestial! Onco of cross, but
now of throno! Onco crowned with
stinging bramble, but now coronoted
with tho jowels ot ransomod empires!
Turn on ns thy pardoning fnco and for
give ns, thy sympathetic faco and con
sole us, thy suffering faco nnd bavo thy
atonement avail for us, thy omnipotent
faco and rescuq us. Oh, what a faco! So
scarred, 60 lacorated, so resplendent, so
overwhelmingly glorious thnt tho sera
phim put wing to wing nnd with their
conjoined pinions keep off somo of tho
luster that is too mighty oven for eyes
cherubic or angelic, nnd yet this morn,
ing turning upon us with n sheathod
splendor liko that with which ho ap
peared when ho snid to tho mothers
bashful about presoiiting thoir children,
"Suffer them to conio, " nnd to tho poor
waif of tho street, "Neither do I con
demn thee," nnd to tbo oyes of tho
blind beggar of tho woyside, "Bo open
ed." I think my brother John, tho re
turned foreign missionary, dying sum
mer beforo last at Bound Brook, caught
n glimpso of that faco of Christ whon
in bis dying hour my brother said, "I
shall bo satisfied when 1 awake in hia
