the intellect. They are the forms OF
thought and speech in which we clOthe
the truth for the time being. They are
the results of our study and our inter-

to the realm of the soul. They are in
herent qualities of human life They
are therefore of supreme moment. They
are the essentials of religious life. and
all that is should be made to minister
to them

They have their day and cease to be,
They are but broken lights OF thee,
