In the Cathedral Of Limerick thers
hangs chime of bells which were cast
in lilly by an enthusiast in his trade,
who fixed his home near the monastery
where they were first hung, that he
might enjoy their sweet, solemn music.
In political revolution the bells were
taken away to some distant land, and
the maker himself became refugee and
exile. His wanderings brought him,
after many years, to Ireland, On
calm and be autiful evening, as the ves-
sci which bore him hoated on the plac-
id bosom Of the Shannon. suddenly this
evening chime pealed forth from the
cathedral towers. His experienced ear
caught the sweet sounds, and he knew
that his lost treasures were found:
His early home, his friends, his beloved
and native land, all the best associations
Of lis life, were IN these sounds: He
laid himself back in the boat, crossed
his arms upon his breast, and listened
to the music: The boat reached the
wharf, but still he lay there silent and
motionless. They spoke to him, but
he did not answer. They went to him.

SO far as this Book is needed, it
will last. SO long as these heavens
are needed they will last. And you
may be sure that just in proportion as
man rises in the scale of being, as he
approximates perfection in his mental
and spiritual growth, as he towers up
in the beauty and finishing of his char
acter, will he need to be touched utoh
by the power and the passion of things
transcending speculation, and the pow
er of his intellect to comprehend.
Feeling, and instinct, and sentiment,
are earlier than thought, and profound
er than reason. Religion is di1iner
than theology; our wants are more
than we can comprehend.
To whatever is beautiful; whatever
is grand, whatever is sublime, sacred
or sanctifying ; to all that is pure, en-
noblins, inspiring, divine and justly
human in this old Book, so far as it
can feed your uplodkirs wonder, peer
out into your face as the pictured coun-
tenance Of God, breathe upon you His
living breath, or blood your nature
with divine fertility yield yourself
intel!igcntly, devoutly to
such power, and the summer of its
mystic sky shall breed bloom and fruit
age in your being, and its leaf shall
never wither-Rey, j. l.. Dudley.
