In religious ceremony. Implements Of stone, also,

the study Of discoveries and Inventions But

OF being put to tie test The notion that man
has specific faculty to be called the religious
faculty Is also dealt with unceremoniously
What man does In the matter OF religion as In
everything else, is to devote his whole mind to
It, and the result like his discoveries and in
ventions In other fields, bears the impress OF his
whole character.
Religion involves both discovery and invention,
a discovery of supernatural beings and facts
and an invention OF methods by which man
places himself in relation to the supernatural.
Discovery In the matter proceeds very slowly
and so vaguely that to this moment there is still
a great diversity OF opinion to the definition
Of what religion is. DR.. Menzies puts forward
his own view tentatively when he says that
religion Is the worship Of unseen powers from

HOPE.

We sailed and sailed upon the desert sea.
Where Tor whole days we alone seemed to he.
At,last we saw u dim, vague line arise
Between the lonely pillows and the skies
That grew and grew until it wore the shape
or cove and inlet, promonitory and cape
Then hills and valleys. rivers, fields and woods,
Steepes and roofs, and village neighborhoods,
And then thought, "Some time shall embark
| pom II sea more desert aud more Clark
Than ever this was, and between the skies
And lonely pillows shall see arise
Another world out OF tnat waste and lapse
Like wonder land, Perhaps perhaps per-

And binding, battling misis that rise

Who flies from east to west,
And west to east forever

None hear the trail Of his garments,
The beat OF his wing none hears
But he cOmcs-iind his coming ever

He enters the meancst hoyel,
He enters the highest hail.
And the namcless dread Of his prcscnca
Is terribly over all
At his coming ears are dcafened
And hushed are laughing lips,
And eyes are darkcncd forever
In an infinite eclipse.
He bianchcs youth that is rosy,
He freezes pallid age;
He stills the joy of the fool
And ends the grief of the sage.

He comes when the day Is dim
His arms AT coming are empty
But II soul goes out with him.
