MIsSTEPS.
BY DORA READ GooDALE.

Nothing can call them back-the years
with unguessed riches sent,
That blind complaints or baseless fears
Rolled of their just intent;
NO future need, no present pain
Nothing can call them PACK again.
Nothing can change, for you OF me,
Those moments, big with fate.
Whose awful power of destiny
We recognize too late;
Yet error. in the courts of Time,
Is punished equally with crime.
Aye, and the schools, whereof we take
Sad counsel, strive in vain
To reconcile the heart. or make
The dark enigma plain;
Philosophy, though heaven-born,
Grief and remorse will put to scorn.
Like Jacob in the wondrous tale,
Convicted of defeat.
Each soul alone, in Pencils vale,
The man of God must meet
Mat wrest deIiverance from the sense
@. iniiuite loss and impotence.
Dread Angel Suns withdraw their light
The stars break up and flee,
While, in the deep and lark of night.
Our spirits close with Thee:
Yet is Thy voice the Voice divine,
And Isaac's blessing less than Thine.

as VOLTS silepticism i'll regard to tho

so the really strong argument of the
"critics' against the Mosaic age and
authorship of tho Pcntateuch was that
neither Moses nor his contemporaries
could read or write. Tho Tel ell Amarna

fact and to show that the Mosaic age
