A FACE.

Threescore years and ten immortal soul

Upon a mortal face
With implements too delicate for human
eye
And deathless patience only master spir-

When rainbows arched the sky or deep
the shadows fell, 3
In faint or bolder strokes that grace and
humor blent
With stronger lines deep-cut by firm,
courageous will.
wrought,
With hope and love whose touch,
Such high TRANSPORTATION brings that nall
An angels hand it's fair illumination lent.
And oft the soul did use the sharpened
points of pain
10 tone the curves of joy, .
Or tender lines of pity drew whose soft
The warmth of shadows blue o'er noun
tains cold and gray
And reverent wonder left its tracery Of
awe
Upon the mobile face,
Where shone the rapture light or noiy
vigils kept
Against the evil powers that pitch their
camps within.
So wrought the yearning soul with pow
ers invisible,
With aspiration high,
With purity and truth, until it's master
piece
=, lie and death.
Oh, soul of mine! when behold how vic
tory crowns
face with glory's ray,
Shall not my very pulses cry. oh. soul
Repeat in me this radiant miracle in clay!

Men who deny the spiritual SUI

His claim to their personal allie

mire His character and laud His
teachings, are not, in any proper

alists, philosophers. even doctors Of
divinity, they may be, but they have
no right to wear the Name which is

General notions about sin ana SAL
