detail of the exquisite decorations, all
of which were under the skillful d.

left the cathedral where never

What has he done? What has

IF WE ONLY UNDERSTOOD.


And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim, eternal rough
Seem Il wonder - just the
same?
Should we help where now we
hinder,
Should we pity where we
blame?
All! we Judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden
force;
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
And we'd love each other better,
If we only understood.
Could we but draw back the cuff
tains
That surround each others
lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action
gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we judge we should,
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by mo-
tives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
All the while we loathe the sin;
Could we know the powers work.

To o'erthrow integrity,
We should judge each others
With more patient charity.

THE TEMPEST.
We were crowded in the cabin,
Not a soul would dare to
sleep
1t was midnight on the waters,
And storm was on the deep.
IT'S fearful thing in winter
To be shattered in the blast,
And to hear the rafting trumpet
Thunder "Cut away the mast!"
SO we shuddered there in silence
For the stoutest held his
breath,
While the hungry sea was roar
ing,
And the breakers talked with
Death.
AS thus we sat in darkness,
Each one busy in his prayers
"We are lost!' the captain shout
ed,
AS he staggered down the
stairs.
But his little daughter WHISPERED,
AS she took his icy hand,
"Isn't God upon the ocean
lust the same as on the land"
Then we kissed the little maiden,
And we spoke in better cheer,
And we anchored safe in harbor
When the morning was shining
clear.
