Thou shalt love the Lord thy God

If everybody obeyed this command

number Of the very best schools would be
provided for all the children. and plenty
of Fairgrounds In which they could en-

reation; then they would have less time
to get into mischief and form bad habits.
Then, IL people commit crime and have
to be sent to jail. they would be sent
to reformatories where the surroundings
were uplifting, with suitable work to do.
and they would be encouraged in every
way to lead better lives.
There would be better laws for the
working people. for they would be looked
upon as brothers TO be helped and there
would be no strikes and no need for
charitable associations, for the causes
of these things would be removed.
There would be no use for armies.

which one Christian nation defends It
self against another. for all disputes
would be adjusted by arbitration and the
world would be at peace.

Oh, who the exquisite delight can tell.
The JOY which mutual confidence i'm
parts?
Or who can paint the charm unspeak-
able
Which links in tender bands two faith
full hearts?
In vain assaHd be fortunes envious
darts,
Their miugated woes are sweetly
shared.
And doubled Joy reluctantly departs;
Let but the sympathizing heart be
spared.
What sorrow seems not light. what
peril is not dar'd? Mrs. Tighe

Give love, and love to your life will flow.
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and a score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed.
For life Is a mirror OF king and slave;
It's just what we are and do;
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to you.

0 happy state when souls each other
draw,
When love is liberty, and nature law;
All then is full. possessing and possessed.
No craving void left aching In the breast;
Ey'n thought meets thought. ere from
the lips it part.
And each warm wish springs mutual
from the heart.

For whether He smiles or whether He

His encompassing love blesses us all.
For God is love. a great creative power,
Expressed in sun or storm or budding

And though the world is battling still
