Williams Jennings, a Coahoma coun-

BUDDHA AMlTABHA.*

*Infinite Light.
There's a glory in the skies,
More inspires us than the sunsets
crimson bars;
TITS the arch of heaven o'erhead
With its wide horizon spread
Ever rising, moving onward like the
stars.
When life narrows here below,
Soul look up and see aglow
Gods rainbow bridge across the am
bient air;
Leading to His azure dome,
Pointing thought it's own true home,
It's boundless reach,-its heights di-
vinely fair.
Think not earth is all the real!
Look on heavens arch ideal;
And, though thine earthly hope goes
down tonight,
y Day comes again; strive on!
Ever on to greet the dawn,
Ever on and upward to the Infinite
Light.
