never sleeps. 1t leaps the Atlantic
ocean and mingles in scenes 5000 miles
away. It travels great reaches Of time
flashes back so years, and the octoge-
marian is a boy again in his fathers
house. If the soul before it has entirely
broken its chains OF flesh can do all this,
how far can il leap, what circles can ii

tuous, means so much nat rising from
your couch you ought to keel down and
say: 80 God, am immortal2 Whence:
