The Soul Is Always Pure

are not always undesirable, and we go
far beyond the undiscernible.
A man shall have committed crimes
reputed to be the vilest of all, and yet 1t
may be that even the blacklist of these
shall not have furnished for one single
moment the breath of fragrance and
ethereal purity that surrounds his pres
ence, while at the approach of philoso-
pher or martyr our soul may be stepped
In gloom.
1t may happen that a saint or hero may
choose his friend from among men whose
faces bear the stamp OF every degraded
thought. and that, by the side of others,
those brows are radiant with lofty and
magnanimous dreams, he shall not feel n
human and brotherly atmosphere about
him.
What tidings do these things bring us7
And wherein lies their significance? Are
there laws deeper than those by which
deeds and thoughts are governed? What
are the things we have learned, and why
DO we always act in accordance with
rules that none ever mention but which
are only rules that cannot err?
For 1t may be boldly declared that, APP
pesrances notwithstanding, neither hero
nor saint has chosen wrongly. They have
! but obeyed, and even though the saint be
| deceived and sold by the man he has pre-
ferred, still will there abide with him
something imperishable, something by
which he shall know that he was right
and that he has nothing TO regret. The
soul will ever remember that the other
soul was pure.
When we venture to move the mysteri-
Z Gus stone that covers these mysteries, the
/ heavily charged air surges up from the
| gulf. and words and thoughts fall around
us like poisoned flies. Even our inner
| life seems trivial by the side OF these I'M
/ changing deepnesses.
When the angels stand before you, will
you glory in never having sinned, and IL
there not an inferior innocence?
When Jesus read the wretched thoughts
! Of the Pharisees who surrounded the par
| alytic at Capernaum are you sure that
He looked at them? He judged their SOU

ness that was perhaps everlasting.
And would He be a God II His con
demnation were irrevocable? But why
does He speak as though He fingered on

or the noblest inspiration leave a mark
on the diamonds surface?
What God that IL, indeed on the heights
but must smile at our gravest faults as
we smile at the puppies on the hearth
rug7 And what God would He be who
would not smile? II you become truly
