 From the ways of the tapestry weavers 1 on the other side of the sea.
 Above their head the pattern hangs, they study it with care, And as to and fro the shuttle leaps, their eyes are fastened there. -'a They tell .this. curious thing, besides, of . the patient plodding weaver,
 He works on the wrong side evermore, but works for the right side ever. It is only when the weaving stops. and the web Is loosed and turned,
 That he sees his real handiwork. and his marvellous skill Is learned.
 The years of men are the looms of God. v0A let down from the place of the sun, mystic web is done. Weaving blindly. but weaving surely.
 each for himself his fate | We may not see how the right side looks: We can only weave and wait. But looking above for the pattern, no
 weaver hath need to fear;
 Only let hIm look clear into heaven, the
 perfect pattern is there.
 If he keeps the face of the Savior forever and always in sight,
 His toll shall be rich with blessing. and his weaving is sure to be right, And when his task is ended, and the web is turned and shown, He shall hear the voice of the Master. exclaiming to him, Well done.'
 Overhead-above the weaver, the pat tern hangs, while he himself works on the wrong side of the web, never seeing the worked-out pattern until the piece is | finished. E,i
 Are we not all tapestry weavers? l Emily Verdery- Battey.
