Transgression is under the ban.

Heroes and Hero-Worship.


A large topic; indeed, an illimita-
Bile one; wide as universal history
itself. For, as | take it, universal
history, the history of what man has
accomplished in this world, is at the
bottom the history of the great men
who have worked here They were
the leaders of men, these great ones;
all the things we see standing accom-
plished in the world are properly the
outer material result, the pracucal
realization and embodiment OF
thoughts that dwelt in the great men
sent into the world. The soul of the
whole worlds history, it may be just
w considered, were the history of
these. We cannot look, however un-
perfectly upon great man, without
gaining something by him. He is the
living fountain, which is good ard
pleasant to be near. The light which
enlightens, which has enlightened the
darkness of the world; and this rot
as a kindled lamp only, but rather
as a natural luminary shining by the
gift of heaven: flowing light-foun-

Why is life made so dreary,
Why a motherless brood,
Why sad hearts and weary,
Why Christ upon the rood?

Why heartaches and sorrow,
Why pains we can not stand?
Why loved ones are taken,
Why husband left in gloom,
Why children's hearts are broken,

Why a vale and a stream.
