"Truth is symmetrical and all it's parts
Bible truth is unit and no
ne duty is presented out of it's due pro-
'ortions and relations. St. Paul is not
peaking carelessly. What is loves Ask

eelinga The heart, what is love? Ask |
The blushing maiden, the young mother, the
aged saint-what is lovea 1t is more than
In the right sphere it is holt
ness. It is God. Pass ray of light through
this glass prison and you get the colors of
the rainbow. So st. Paul passes ray of
Christ's life through this prison of his
reason and separates it into Christ's ele-
ments. It is easy to break love into parts.
It is not so easy to join the elements and
make love. Combine the colors of the
rainbow and you produce Wilderness, but
not light. And 30 by joining all these ele-
ments of love, men can produce virtue,
but not love. For love is life and can
never be defined nor produced by artificial
methods. You can break down life and
analyze the body. You can then bring to-
gether again the elements of the body, but
you have not produced life. So no moral

Charity completes the arch of personal relig-
ion. Jesus Christ is the keystone to revelation,

arch needs artificial supports; but afterward 1t
in disappearing and the strongest possible por-
and sacrifices and the prophecies are re-.
vealed after Jesus Christ, the keystone, is
set in the arch of the scriptures. And likewise
after love is set in the keystone position in hu.
man character it needs no strengthening, but
strengthens and supports all the other virtues.
Charity is Christ's peculiar character ana ta
chapter Is all the charity which has man for its
object. The Old Testament teaches the love of
velops the law Of love TO our neighbor,. and this
is the almost exclusive application of the law in
charity is the life of the heavenly world.
Other things pass away, but love is eternal To
live forever. Why do we want to 1--we? Be-
cause we love and are loved. This is life eter-
nal to know the only true God and Jesus Christ
whom thou has sent. Love must be eternal.

Your cares and sorrows few.
Five years have swiftly passed away.

| Since that aforementioned day,
| The day thar you were we'd

And how strict and sacred that pledge has be-

That you chose both wisely and well,

Is sweeter than tongue can tell.
| And may each ever share the others joys

t That lightly may rest the cares of the day
With love all your future to brighten.
And as years go by the good s21. done here

And your bliss to make complete.
j And may your days still heightened be,

Be welcomed in turn by you.

May you both be able to say

And the music of angels will then resound
