Jarless. nOiseless, safe. and slow.
Falls the light Of Gods face bending
Down and watching us below.
And the feeble babes that suffer.

Then IL is that Gods great patience

a night has a thousand eyes.
The day but one.
Yet the light Of the bright world dies
With the dying sun
The mind has a thousand eyes.
And the heart but one;
Yet the light OF the whole life dies
When love is done.

Love is the sunshine that hlls the day
OF our life with dazzling light and bright
ness and happiness and the moonlight
that in the dark night Of our declining
years casts around Us its soft. comforting
radiance.
True love demands little and gives
much. II IS synonym for unselhshness
and sacrifice.
Love Is no Discrimination Of persons. but
a great leveler that lavishes its blessings
alike on the high and Iowly.
Love IS 10 Efe what the fragrance Is to

What the sun is IN TIE material order.
that love Is in the social and moral order.
As the sun Furnishes the tips OF the
mountains. lights up the valleys. and con
verts seas and rivers into liquid gold,
making a paradise where but moment
ago al was cherries and dark, so love
casts q charm over the commOnest life
and infuses warmth and color and pathOs
into the most ordinary and humdrum ex-
istence
or all topics that can engross the mind
the only one OF which men never seem 10
tire or grow weary is love IL forms the
very foundation Of romance and OF story.
L is the soul and vivify!ng principle OF

ameliOrateS whatever IL touches, and IN
fuses a nobier and higher impulse where

This would prove a sad and dreary
world but for the bright warm sunshine
shed by loving hearts. For love nIumf-
