mind that wrote Ecclesiastes shows
the ancient's understanding of the
laws of nature: "All the rivers run
into the sea; yet the sea is not full (;
unto the place from whence the rivers
come, thither they run again."
The circulation of earth's waters is
the greatest of all physical phenomena.
Today liquid, tomorrow vapor, a.
gain solid. Touched BY the sun, it
rises in fleecy banks and splendid col
umns to fall in drops as pure as a
maiden's soul from the hand of the
Omnipotent. 1t floats in majestic
cloud across the skies and flushes and
pales in light and shade and color be-
meath the brush of the oldest Master
in the world.
Boyhood's exuberant fancy builds
from the FURNISHED glowing banks OF
drifting changeful splendor the castle
on the mountain side, "the cloud-cap-
ped towers, the gorgeous palaces, the
solemn temples" that pass in stately
pageant as he watches with upturned
face mid plumes of nodding grass, the
glory of Gods canvas domed on the
azure background of the skies. The
sun, the alchemist of the ages, glances
on the sea and mists laden with its
flood sweep inland to fall with reviv-

stone and steel In the grasp of the
frost king it rises in titanic sentries
guarding the frozen solitudes where
brave men have died in the icelOcked
silent wilderness to bare the mystery
of the Pole. 1t mantles in spotless
purity the loftiest SUBMITS of the
world like Natures vestments on the
mighty affairs of the everything God.
But yesterday on the forests jeweled
bough, blazing in the morning sun it
shamed the lapidary's skill and shone
more resplendent than the diadem OF
kings that flashed on the thrones OF
an ancient world Dissolved beneath
the softening ray that lent its luster to
the woodland gem, the sinking sun
sees 1t join the hurrying rivulet to
swell the inland river that ever as in
Holy Writ runs again into the untitled
sea.
This crystal drop is at once mans
protection and his plague. Without it
sun and air touch in vain the husband
mans field and Sahara's withering
breath destroys. 1t is vehicle of
