The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1890-05-22

! Leaning DncE, ana with palllu
checks and upliltcd eyes, the oisci-
; pies see their Lord rising from the
solid earth. Then rushing forward
they would grasp His feet to hold
Him fast, but they are out OF reach,
and tits too late to Gctnin Him.
Higher than tops of the iigtrccs from
which they had pluclicd the fruit.
Higher than the olivc-trccs that
shaded the mount. Higher until he
is within sight Of the Bethlehem
where He was born, and thc Jordan
where he was baptized, and the Col
gotha, where he was slain. Higher
until on stairs of hcory clouds He
steps Higher, until into Il sky blucr
than the lake that could not sink
Him. He disappears, into Il sea OF
glory whose biliowing Splendors hide
Him. The fishermen watch and
watch, wondering ii the law of nit-
turo will not rc-asscIt itself, ancl fIc
shall III few minutes come back
again, and they shall see Him dc
SccndinG: first His SCARED feet COM
ing il sight, then the Scared side,
then the SCARED brow. and they may
take again His SCARED hand. But
the moments pass by, and the hours,
and no appearance. Gone out OF
sight of earth, but come within sight
OF heaven, And rising still, not vel
c"iil"d by on" angelic choir Ike those
WHO one Christma, might escorted
j>im clown. bat Ill heaven turns out
to greet Him home, and the temples
have especial anthem, and the pala-
eos especial banquet, and the streets
especial t!rongs: and all along the
line to the foot OF the throne. for
years vacated but again to be taken,
there are arches lifted, and banners
waved, and trumpcts sounded, and
dOXOlOgics chantcl, and corourt;4
cast down.
