This 10 point which we think is too often
overlooked. One yoke OF oxen may pillow an

Have you read the Ialmud Of old,
In ths legends the Raboins have tod,
on the limitless realms Of the air
Have you read 1.-THE marvellous story
OF Ssndalphon, the Angel Of Glory,
Ssndalphon the Angel of Prayer
How erect, at the outermost gates
OF the City Celestial he waits,
With bis feet on the ladder Of light,
That, crowded with angels unnumbered,
BY Jacob was seen, as he slumbered
Alone 10 the desert at night 2
The Angels Of Wind and OF Fire,
Chant only one hymn, and expire
With the songs irresistible stress
Expire in their rapture and wonder,
As harp strings are broken asunder,
By the music they throb to express.
But serene in the rapturous throng,
Unmoved BY the rush Of the song,
With eyes nnimpassioned and slow,
Among the dead angels, the desthess
Sandalphon stands listening brea,hless,
To sounds that ascend from below
From the spirits on earth who adore,
From the souls th't intreat and implore,
In the frenzy and passion OF prayer
From the hearts that are broken with losses
And weary with dragging the crosses
Too heavy for mortals TO bear
And he gathers the prayers as he stands,
And they change into flowers in his hands,
Into garlsnds Of purple and red
And beneath The great arch OF the portal,
Through the streets Of the City Immortal,
10 waited the fragrance they shed.
II 10 out legend, know
A fable, a phantom, show
or the ancient Rsbbinieal lore;
Yet the old medieval, strange superstition,
The beautiful strange superstition,
But hsunts me and holds me the more.
When look from my window at night
And the welkin above is all white,
All throbbing and painting with stars,
Among them majestic is standing
sandalphon the angel expanding
His pinions in nebuous bars.
And the legend, | feel, is part
Of the hunger and thirst of the heart,
The frenzy and FIRE of the brain,
That grasps at the iruitsge forbidden,
The golden pomegranstes Of Eden,
10 quiet IL fervor and pain.
