said that every one, no matter how
low his station in life, who left the
world better than he found it, was
a builder, that he who digged a
ditch we'll built for the words bet

They served Maid more beautiful
than tongue
Could tell or heart conceive. OF HUI

All heavenly as that Virgin was, she
sprung:
But for her beauty and celestial grace,
Being in one whose pure elements no
trace
Had e'er inhered of sin or mortal stain.
The highest Heaven was now her
dwelling place.
There as a Queen divine she held her
reign,
And there in endless joy for ever would
remain.
Her feet upon the crescent Moon we're
set,
And moving in their order round her
head
The stars compose her startling coro-
net.
There at her breast the Virgin Mother
A Babe divine who was to judge the
dead;
Such power the Spirit gave this awful
Child;
Severe He was, and in His anger dread,
Yet always at His Mothers will grew
mild,
So we'll did He obey that Mother unde-
