RIIyAH's INTERVIEW.
BY THOMAS CAMPBELL

BY THOMAS CAMPBELL
On Horeb's reck the prophet stood
The Lord before him passed.
A burricsne. in angry mood,
Swept by him strong and fast.
The forest fell before its force,
The rocks were shiveTed in Its course.
God was not in the blast
Twas but the whirlwiDd Of His breath
Announcing danger, wreck ard death.
Il ceased. The air grew mute-s cloud
Came, muffling mp the sun;
When through the mountains, deep and loud
An earthquake tbuDderd on,
The frightened eagle sprsng In air
The wolf ran bowling from his lair.
God was not in the storm.
Twas but the rolling of his car
The trampliDg Of his 1T ,eds from far.
Twas still again; and nature stood
And ca m ID her ruffie1 frame;
When, swift from heaven, a fiery hood
To earth devouring came.
Down 10 the depth the Dream fed
The sickening sun 10, ked wan and dead
Yet God filed not the flame.
Twas but the terror Of His eye,
That lightened thIt ugh the troubled sky.
At last voice, all still and small,
Rose swee,ly on the ear,
Yet rose so shrill and clear, that al
In heaven and earth might hear.
II spoke Of peace--it spoke of love-
1t spoke as angler speak above
And Gcd himself was there.
Bot o, II was fathers voice,
That b ,de the trembling reio'@s.
