Roseburg review. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 1885-1920, 1886-11-19

And go backward till their lives repeat
And in this recalled light their souls are clad
When they meet with their paternal source
Where Canaan is of servants a servant made
And man the child of sorrow may rejoice
When the voice of Wisdom stoops to serve his need
| When from the sands behold phantom rise,
vision of the kingdom that was lost
Spotted as the leopards is the robe it wears,
Whose clawlike feet take hold upon the dust
Like the devouring lions Is the mouth
That is fed by the dividers hand,
And though the Law hath wounded ii TO DEATH
Upon Its rivals breast it now doth stand
Forty-two months to bruise the serpent's Head
And on Earth to with the Holy City war
Is measured by the Prophets reed
AS the figures of his appointed hour
lhe dread of death arms him with power
That depnves man of his spirits light,
And overcomes even the saints with fear
Whose names are in Life's Book unwrltten vet
But he that taketh captive shall be-eapye led
ana ne that slayeth with sword by it shall fall"
lhus ne that fenced the tree with dread
Shall be led captive by the serpents will
though discerning Light lamb appears
She is an ally of the Evil one
VINO Tor hire her Lord into his hands bctrays
And beneath matter bows the spirit down
was she who made both small and great
Io cast the hrsborn Of their nature off
ana wear the mark that brands state
Where man was made to sacrifice his life
ne snare that was laid by Jacobs cruel sons
In which to take the blinded Shekem in
crime DER which the aged parent mourns.
though to gain discerning Light the deed was DONE
Entangled in the Holy Davids snare
Is the Voice that casts the Evil nature off
Who covets the wisdom hidden there,
And to gain discerning Light DESTROYS life.
AN image Of the light by evil taught
Is that which was craven upon Sinai,
An aiphabetic stone the parent wrought
10 teach the child OF its own nature by
child of hire he sank into the sand,
And in the vision he appears the same,
whose rule is measured by the Angels wand,
From Sinai until the Master came
Again the woman's Throne is reared
Ard man bows tothe sceptre of her son;
For as an hire the knowledge of the Good
Dwells added to the House of man.
On Mount Zion the Lamb Of God appears.
Around him the brightness Of the Heaven shone,
His wealth Of glory to the earth he bears,
Who now makes of himself son to man
An Angelic host their Lord surround
Who guileless as babes by nature are
Whofrom among men had been redeemed
Ere they were defed by hate or hire
Though subjects Of death these bameless were found
The parent of man of his being the first
Pure the breath that breathed in tho o,o,,d
When man was first made in a form of the dust
Now bloodess battles fought and won
By him who wields the spiritual sword
By whom the foe to knowledge now is slain
Even the mystery that wells his word
As bright as the sun the temple shone,
Whose columns with gold refined was OVERLAND
Where the Masters spirit made its throne
And from the silver cup its waters poured
And Tor Wisdom as pearl divine
The Inspired Voice bids to seek
Above rubies doth its treasures shine
Theonly enduring crown that man can make.
Pienteous as the stones that pave the streets
Becomes the gold men sought and labored for,
Till need no longer want creates
And man is satisfied nor seeks for more
The law that clad the tree in mystery
Beneath the sword of the spirit falls;
And the Mighty Babylon shrunk away,
But vengeance within her bosom dwells
BLESSED are the dead who die in the Lord"
Saith the Spirit, 'they blessed"
Whose works do follow and with their light reward
The faith that in his promises shall trust.
Upon of glass mingled with fire,
Behold the victors in the Heaven stand,
Even cyrstal the Holy Light is clear
That Wisdom's brightest halo doth surround.
And his works now made manifest,
To those who have gained the victory
That he in and judgment both is Just,
Who gives to the mind its birth through mystery
But to man the Maker wills to show
That abiding Heaven can be built
Upon these transient changing things below,
Whose shifings sands are sure to swallow IL
For Of this bright day Evil captive makes,
And with darkness enveiops David's gifted son,
. As blindness mans brightest light oyertakes
When the good is left to dwell alone.
With its nature the knowledge of it is cast of,
Till Evil, hid in darkness, aims blow
AT Him who was added to the creatures life,
Till man loses the light and its parent too.
For upon those who wore the brand Of death,
And to the image Of the Evil worship gave,
Were poured yials the Of Makers wrath,
Till the River Of the Light became grave
List to the voice, Prophet false appears,
And as thing unclean his spoken word;
While they who their Parent natures sold for hire
As things that are unclean and naked Stood
These are gathered at the Fatal Tree
Where the conyulslve throes OF birth,
Are visions Of the repeated tragedy,
And mortal b kceved by death.
Upon justice again the fate of nature hangs,
When the deceived woman presents her plea
