But He whom we name God and grope so

In the dust before Him,
We may adore Him,
We cannot know Him.

From Live Wire, Boston.
A Arm of Boston publishers not long ago

Neb.. who wrote the following classic
definition:
He has achieved success who has lived
we'll, laughed often and loved much; who
las gaine~ the respect of intelligent men
and the love OF little children: who has
dlled his niche and accomplished his task;
who has left the world better than he
found it, whether by an improved poppy,
. perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty or failed to express it; who has
always looked for the best in others, and
given the best he had; whose life is an
inspirations; whose memory a benedic-
tion."
