Nothing truly can be termed my own,

well: those deeds of charity which we
have done, shall stay forever with us
and that wealth which we have so be-
slowed, we only keep: the other is not
ours. Middleton.
The setting of a great hope is like the
setting of the sun. The brightness of
our life is gone. Shadows of evening
fall around us and the world seems but
a dim reflection-itself a broader shad-

lonely night. The soul withdraws in
to itself. Then stars arise and the
night is holy.-H. ". Longfellow.
The whole principle is wrong. The
business of the church is to educate
people to the need of higher laws; to
raise the standards of moral obligation

mistakes of Cromwell, of Philip of
