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


Even as the deceived woman's plea
To the Makers ear her cause presents.
for to mighty city Babylon hath grown
And planted her throne upon the word,
Save the creating Voice brings forth again,
Bidding its creature die that it from guile be freed
Downward each drop Of blood mlllstone falls
Filling the figure Of the serpents cdrse,
When it on earth loathsome reptile'crawls
Wedding dust with spirit at the cross.
It Is DONE comes from the Temples Throne,
@It is6aished" comes from Calvary;
Thus each bears witness that awork is done,
That was designed from Eternity
When downward the sell-convicted Judah goes
Seeking for the victim he betrayed
As when the Elder Judah in Egypt rose,
And himself a ransomed for his brother made,
The betrayer found his victim in the grave,
But the keys of Hell and Death were in his hands,
And as Of old in forgiving love
The tale of Natures division ends.
The form Of Judas satisfies the worm,
And that of his brother from the grave is freed,
That still Scared and careworn TO his home
Is taken by its resurrecied Head.
Over all the nations Of the earth,
Mystery now sits and reigns queen,
In natures confusion she had birth,
And vengeance placed her on its throne.
And they whose names written in Lies book not
Yet to be found in Living characters,
Shall wonder at the word which strangely taught
Of "a death that was, is not, and yet il is
Again the word is thing that is forbidden,
BY the sword Of the Law the victim bleeds, :.
For the light that IN his breast is hidden
Like Rachel for the images she hides.
Drunk with the blood Of martyrs and Of saints :
The woman in purple and scarlet is arrayed
Who in this cruel guise her duty paints
And to Wisdom yields harvest reapt with blood
But 10, the marriage of the Lamb has come,
When the mother of all the living Eve,
From the universal Father hears the name
That rewards her fahfulness and love-
Again as scales from her eyes the blindness falls
Before the light of that uncovered face,
While fond memory to her mind recalls
The lost tones Of the unforrgotten voice.
Clad in the Word. vesture dipped IN blood,
The Paternal Tree maintains its purity,
For true to the woman was the Voice that said,
For Goddoth know, thou shalt not surely die"
The Heavens were opened, and on the Throne,
Sat one who is called Faithful and True,
Both armies Of nature are his own,
Who is righteous in war, and in Judgment too
And the dvider was caught and bound,
That he should deceive the world no more,
But the dread Of death was no longer found,
For the Makers presence had conquered fear
Though for season to be loosed again,
Even as a cloud comes over the Earth,
That brings with it the refreshing rain,
To nourish and preserve the soul from death.
OF the first Resurrection these visions are,
And blessed are they who in it have part
On them the second death is without power
Through pain and wrong TO do their spirits hurt.
tower whose top will reach to Heaven,
On Earth the mau by wisdom tries to build,
To whom the Voice is servant given
BY whose Cody wisdom man is skilled
"Behold the man becomes as one OF u.s.
To know Evil and Good the gods declare
Now nothing shall be restrained from one who thus
Becomes, as the gods in wisdom are.
'sLet us go down and confound their Speech"
Behold the dividei loosed again;
Who through the Voice now seeks TO reach,
The Power that giveth Life and Light to man.
At his call thousand voices drowned,
That still small voice, Wisdom's PaternaI Tree,
Till mystery is in confusion thronged,
And mans neglected monitor is left to die.
Although Wisdom's God is no longer heard,
And the minds Patcrnal Tree on earth is lost,
But in its Ark the Image of the Word,
Its light still safely rides though tempest tossed
Till prevailing faith recalls its God,
Who through his Angel speaks and on his child
Bestcws the light from all the ages stored,
And thus for its inheritance preserved
Thus the waters from the silver cup
That rode with the infant Moses on the Nile,
Is still by faith supplied to Wsdoms lip
In portions as appointed by his wir
Hard as the granite rock the prophet smote,
To furnish drink for thirsty Israel
Was the forgotten past Of which he wrote,
And drew from the lost source living WE'LL
Bitter as Narah's waters was the tale
That taught man of his past and fallen state
Ere he was pointed to the Tree to fell,
And make the knowledge of his nature sweet
TIL in the gardens midst the Tree was placed
Of (which he that eateth thereof shall surely die
And in discerning Light the Word is dressed
Who is an offspring of the Heavenly Tree.
As when before Jacobs rods the flock conceives
Till none in its prmeval state is found,
SO OF Heavenly Light the soul Of man receives
Till all the Earth becomes hallowed Ground
Where millions now upon Lies pathway wait
To be named by their Paternal Tree
Whose spirits have partaken Of its fruit,
And stand as when Jacob halted on his thigh
Again the Makers face is hid from view,
And Gods Covenant with man renewed,
But II rests upon the Blood Of Adam now,
The Bow that God established in the cloud.
For when man delayed as man to die
The Maker died as God. and was born man
