cit cannot be that earth is mans only abiding place.
1t can not that our life is bubble by eternity,
float moment upon its and sink into nohingness
Else why it that the nigh and glorious aspirations
which cap like angels from the temple of hearts
wandering unsatisfed? Why it that the rain
bow cloud with beauty that is not of
EARTH and then pass of to leave to their love-
ness Why is it that the which hold their festival
around the midnight throne. above the grasp of
our limited faculties, forever hooking with their
approachabe glory? And, finally, why it that bright
forms of human beauty presented to view and
taken from leaving the thousand streams of aec
tions to flow back Alpine torrent upon hearts?
There is realm where the rainbow fades; where
the stars will be spread out before like the islands
that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful be-
ings which pass before like shadows will stay for

The latter in order to make their opposition effective

the gathering will be representative one.
