TIE FLEMISH BELLS

The bells cast by the famous molder. Van

sadly he shook his frosted head
=, Listening and leaning on his cane,
Nay-I am like the bells" he said
CAST by the molder of Louvain
often you've read of their mystic powers
floating Ger Flanders dull lagOons:
HOW they would hold the lazy hours
Meshed in a net of golden tunes
Never such bells rs those were heard
bcholng over the sluggish tide;
Now like storm-crash-now like n bird
Ringing their carillons far and wide
"There in Louvain they swing to-day
Up IN the turrets where long they We
swung;
But the rare cunning of yore. they saw.
somehow has dropped from the brazen
tongue.
over them shines the same pale sky,
Under them stretch the same laVoons.
Out from the bclfries, brtl-lke fly
AS from nest, the same sweet tunes;
Ever the same-and vet we know
None are entranced these later times
just as the listeners long ago
were, with the wonder of their chimes
Something elusive as viewless air,
something we cannot understand,
Strangely has vanished of the rare
skill of the holders master hand.
So-when you plead that life is still
run as of old, with tingling joy
mat may hear its music thrill,
just as heard it when boy
All can say, is; Youth has passed.
Master of magic falls and swclls-
Bearing away the cunning cast
into the mOlding of the bells!"

The Testimony OF Daniel Webster.

In all that has been revived of the life
and words of Daniel Webster in this
centenary of his birth nothing has great
er value, or better shows the clearness
and grasp of his intellect, than SEN
tence out of his early confession of re-
ligious belief, wherein he says of the
doctrine of the Trinity, as he finds it in
the Bible, but is unable to comprehend
1t: 81 hold it my duty to believe, not
what | can comprehend, or account for,
but what my Master teaches me-" The
man who refuses to accept anything
from the Scripture which is beyond the
scope of his reasoning faculties might
as well be without the Bible as with it.
II he insists on conforming God to his
ideas OF what God ought to be, he is on
the inclined plane toward the grossest
Paganism-bringing down God to man S
image and standards. If he tries r.
conform his ideas of God to Gods reve-
.atlon of Himself he is at the foot of the
ladder which reaches from the earth to
the seventh heaven. There is no hope
OF any gain to a man who has no higher
standard than his unaided reasoning
taculties.-S. S. Times.
