Go ye out into, the highways
aud the byways, and compel them
to come in"
These words of Jesus apply
now. We must compel men to
save themselves. Blinded. slug

noranee; working in dark cellars,
aud pale with endless toll. from
morn till night and night till morn,

man, pleading with hungry eyes,
from man to man, for right to he,
Tor ;eork, whereby to lengthen out
q mere existence; failing to see that
his cannot be the divine intent OF
lie; missing the light Of life from
all his days; because embruted
and cnslaved by false beliefs.
Awake. oh, man,-look up!
Man looks up and sees the
moon on high. The moon riding
IN the sky with all her beams,
looks down not only on the habi-
tations of a few clustered men,
but sees the mighty globe in
space revolving. whirling in its
ccaseless path, so is celestial vis-
ION broader than terrestrial. The
sun looks out and sees all the orbs
of It's one system. But God sees
all the systems, all the suns, the
lights, the shadows, mountains,
rivers, plains and homes of life.
He sees around. beneath, above,
within. without. abroad. through
all the universe.
So is universal vision broader
than the special view. But man
awakened from his dream.-looks
up and out again. and sees the
universe before him spread. From
one pale moon-the dead illusion
OF a single planet orb he casts
the scales from off his eyes and un-
dcrstands that he reflects the In
fmtr. and sees the Truth. From
one devotion. rises 10 a love OF

opened. So must all minds re-
ccive of the One Mind, Truth,
Love. Life. Strength. Health. so
will all be free. and Hope and
Happiness and Peace will be.
Instead Of single moon and
night. man sees the Truth and Day.
In place of lonely moon. the uni
verse is spread before his gaze
but how shall all this bel Men
can not OF tn .mselves unloose the
shutters of a soul whose shaekles
have been wrought by ages OF
false teaching. No man will think
until he feels. Suffering produces
sweetest tones. We must spring
and vibrate allthe chords upon the
harp; and stir the organ to its in
most depths, and twang the strings
upon the Tyre; and breathe our
pain into the lutte to bring forth
melody. We must from without
remove the bank of snow. and
part the wave that bandages and
bQries up our brother. We must
kindly ope the windows that his
soul may look without from the
upper story OF his being and lift
him from the kitchen TO the parlor
scenes OF mind. Then what a
glorious landscape lies in view,
with meadows, hills and creeks,
and flowers and birds and Joy,
Laughter takes the place OF
tears. and smiles the place of woe.
Prosperity leads forth all care
and youth sings gaily, dancing
everywhere, all wrinkles pass away
and thought leads man to the
roottop and lets him sec the stars
