"Oh. ye gods why should my poor re-
sistless heart
Stand TO oppose Thy might and power.
AT last 20 surrender 10 Cupid-s feathered
dart.
And now lays bleeding every hour
For her that's pityless OF my griefs and
woes
And VIII not on me pity take?
N sleep among nay most inveterate
foes
And with gladness never wish 10 wake:
IN deluding sleepings let my eysIids
close.
That in an enraptured dream I may
In soft. lulling sleep and gentle repose
Possess those joys denied by day"

Nothing IS sweeter than love: nothing
/ stronger. nothing higher. nothing broad
I Ct. nothing tenderer. nothing better. either
4 in heaven or on earth. because love is
/ born OF God, and, rising above all created
/ things. can find its rest in Him alone.
Words OF love. laden with sympathy. we
I all ins1inctively feel may. and oftener

The fountain head OF all love is God.
! There are many texts OF Scripture that
make plain the tenderness, sympathy. and
/ loving kindness Of our Heavenly Faith
err but the most sil-embraoinE one was
written by the apostle John. who gave
TO God the sweetest OF al names when
he SAID. God is love" for what would
4 wisdom or power. or even holiness be,
without lover The shepherd psalm man
ifests Gods love in every verse
I As the suns OF all celestial systems bor-
row their radiance from the one center OF
I light. and shine by rejection so each
/ child OF God should reflect Him. and
glow with love. warming I'D every cold
corner into which his lot may be cast
All pure love IS Christlike. and the
purer Il Is, the more unseldsh viii II be,
whether II be love for God or man.
[ The oceans OF His love are wide
I Ans reach the farthest islands side.
/ They bear HIS word On every tide.
And what hath greatest Joy to ne
Is that my lesser harbOr knows
/ The fuHness OF HIS tide which flows
I In from His loves unfathOuaed sea

What Il Lover
Is II a maiden. with eyes OF bIue2
Is Il a flower perfumed with dew?
Is IL an old man shedding tears2
Is It a wish TO live more years?
Is Il the sun. IS Il the air?
Is Il this life OF toll and cares
No. my friends, tbs 20 love another.
To love a sweetheart or a mother.
But first Of al. 10 love God above.
And this. my dear readers. is true love.
