MOUNT TABOR.
Ry 5ouS HAY

On Tsbor's height a glory came,
And, shrincd in CLOUDS of lambert flame,
The awe-struek, hush, disciples saw
Chris, and the prophets of the law
Moses, whose grand and awful face
Of Siuai's thunder bore the trace
And wise Elias, in his eyes
The shade Of lsraels prophecies,
Stood in that vast mysterious light
Than Syrian moons more purely bright
one on each hand-and high between
~n5ne forth the godlike Nazarene.
They bowed their heads in holy fright,
No mortal eyes could bear the sight,
Ard when they looked again, behold
The fiery clouds had backward rolled,
And borne aloft, in grandeur lonely,
Nothing was left, "save Jesus only.
Resplendent type Of things 10 be
We read its mystery to day
With clearer eyes than even they,
The fisher saints of Gallee.
We see the Christ stand out between
The ancient law and faith serene,
Spirit and lettcr-but above
spirit and letter both was Love.
led by the hand of Jacobs God
Through wastes of ED path was trod
BY which the savage world could move
Upward through law and faith to love.
md there in Iabors harmless fame
The GROWING revelation came.
Tie old world kuclt in homage due
The prophets near in reverence drew,
Lqw ceased is mission to fulfill
Md Love was lord on Tab0rs hill.
10 now, while creeds peipleX the mind
Md wrauglings load the weary wind,
When oil the air is filed with words
md texts that ring like clashing swords,
still. a. for refuge we may turn
Where Tabor snnning glori,s burn
The soul of antique Israel gone
Ari nothing left but Christ alone

We refer of course to his dsparaging COM

from the admiration freely expressed by

She has a wonderfully pure voice of great

at an opinion so opposed to the iiattering

IN other cities from audiences, as critical
