rhythmic echo. Coleridge composed |,
his ssKubia Khan" asleep in q narcotic
dream, and, waking up, wrote down
three hundred lines of it. Tartini, the
violin PLAYER, composed his most won

shown you that our sleeping thoughts
are apt to be an echo OF our waking
thoughts, come now to my NTH ana
most important remark, and that is to

does sometimes in our day, and has
often since the close of the Bible dis

from God. How do know it? Is not
God the source of all good? 1t does
