decacy of treatment worthy of the most sacred
of subjects The following extract, taken at
random, is perhaps a fair, certainly not too fa-
vorable specimen Of the poem;
YOUNG EULER, running
What good thing shall do that 1 may have
Eternal lifey
why callest thou me good?
There is none good but one, and that Is God.
If thou wilt enter into life eternal
Keep the commandments.
YOUNG RULER
Which of themg
CHRisTuS-
Thou shalt not
Commit adultery; thou shalt not bear false witness;
Honor thy father and thy mother; and love
Thy neighbor as myself
YOUNG RULER
From my youth up
All these things have kept. What lack YETI
With what divine compassion in his eyes
The Master looks upon this eager youth
As if he loved him
CHRIsTUs
Wouldst thou perfect be-
Sell all thou hast and give 1t TO the poor,
And come, take up thy cross, and follow me,
And thou shalt have thy treasure in The heavens
JOHN.
Behold, how sorrowfu he turns away
CHRIsTUS.
Children how hard it Is for them that trust
In riches to enter into the Kingdom of God
lis easier for a camel to go through
A needles eye, than for the rich TO enter
The kingdom Of God!
JOHN.
All, who can then be sayedg
CHgISTUs.
With men this is indeed impossible
But unto God all things are possible.
PETER.
Behold, we have left all, and followed thee.
What shall we have, therefore2
CHRIsTus.
Eternal life
CLOUD PICTURES, by Francis ii. Underwood.
Published by Lee & Shepard, Boston This
book, which is in handsome and tasteful dress,
and is printed in clear type on heavy paper,
seems rather a curious production as to its con-
tents. 1t has four stories. The first, "The Exile
of Won Adclsten's Soul " tells of a uobleman of
Vienna, rich, graceful, handsome and naughty,
who lived four hundred years ago. He was
famous horseman, but quite regardless of the
lives of foot passengers who came in his way,
and so one day his horse trampled on and killed
the son OF a poor widow. The baron offers her
gold, but no sympathy, and She curses him and
threatens him with direlul punishment. He is
subjected to entertainments, has a two fold
existence, and is very wretched, but finally is
brought out of his troubles by a priest, and is
happy ever after The otherstories, lopanka-
lon" "IIer Regenbogen's Concert" and "a
Great Organ Prelude, are somewhat less weird.
