must take seyeral waiks to gel any idea
of its extent. Let the first walk De

! In the third walk 60 around the Eter-
ma City. AS We come near Il. harS to
the rush OF its cilariols and the wedding
peal OF its great towers. The bell OF
heaven has struck twelve. Il is high
noon. We look of. upon Inc chaplets
which never fade, the eyes that never
weep, the temples that never close, the
loved ones that never part, the process
sion that never halts, the trees that
never wither, the walls that never can
be captured, the sun that never sets, IN
til We can TO :oDscr saZs. and We hide

tered in the heart o! man. the things
which God hath prepared for them that
love him!" AS these tides Of g:cry rise
we have to retreat and hold fast lest we
be swept oil and drowned n the emo
tons Of gladness and thanksgiving ard
triumph.
