darkly we see In part the relationship
between the Maker and the made.
We read Of the "5sven Wonders OF

sthggefs the conceptions Of moderns; OF
mighty ruined temples aud terraces

grandeur pnd greatness OF by-gone
races. Among the works OF later times
we gaze In silent admiration ON such
structures a. the "Forth" aud "Brook.

and cantllevers spanning the saint

that he who planned that grand stfuc.

be greater than the crcatci-the thing
made can never excel the maker.
Thus, by self-evldent truth, we arc led
