RELIGIOUS ASPECT OF NATURE
Who that looks on the ocean, in its an
ger or its play; who that walks at twi.
light under mountains brow, listens
to the signing of the pines, touched by
the indolent wind of summer, and hears
the light tinkle of the brook, mnrmur-
ing its quiet tune,-who is there but
feels the deep Religion of the scene?
In the heart of a city we are called away
from God. The dust of mans foot, and
the sooty print of his fingers are on all
we see. The very earth is unnatural,
and the Heaven scarce seen. In crowd
of busy men which set through its streets,
Or flow together of an holiday; in the
dust and jar, the hustle and strife Of
business, there is little to remind us Of
God. Men must build cathedral for.
that. But everywhere in nature, we are
carried straightway back to Him. The
fern, green, and growing amid the frost;
each little grass and lichen is silent
memento. The first bird of spring, and
the last rose of summer; the grandeur
or the dulness of evening and morning;
the rain, the dew, the sunshine; the
stars that come out to watch over the
farmers rising corn; the birds that
nestle contentedly, brooding over, their |;
young, quietly tending the little strug-
giles with their beak all these have q
religious significance to thinking soul.
Every violet blooms of God, each lily
is fragrant with the presence of Deity.
The awful scenes, of storm, and light
ming, and thunder, seem but the sterner
sounds of the grand concert, wherewith
God speaks to man.-The0d0re Parker
