God how fraillw we are. Shut up be-
tween life and death we live In a
valley like men who know nothing
of the world beyon their noun
tains. A thousand mysteries are
beating upon the shore of. our little
inland sea. We are bafaed with sin
and ignorance. A thousand dreams
OF perfection come to US and as we
look upon the sad imperfections Of
our lives, we catch glimpses Of how
God realizes his ideals in summer
skies, in sunset and twilight and
stars. in the awful grandeur OF the
storm. In the mysterious whisperings
of the sea, stirring strange unrest
in the soul; In the gentle rain, the
fragrant flower, the chirping bird,
and the solemn grand eur of the prim-
.eva1 woods, we see the fulfilled
wishes of God. Ought we not to put
all things aside, all selishness, all
pride OF position all foolishness
striving after things whose gold once
we had them would turn to ashes.
Seek in God the calm which is be-
yond all storm, and the greatness in
which all weakness does. We, are
living men and women, throb with
visions and purpose we are kinsmen
of Cod and SO we come back to the
old story of the prophet and his
servant. z
I trust that we have seen that It
has meaning sufficient. There are
two ways Of doing our work and
lighting the battle Of life. one is to
look upon these things as wholly of
the earth, and .of time, to see moth
ing but their hard and sordid as
pect, to set ourselves to the task OF
labor as though we were alone in 1t
to toll and fight to the bitter end.
The other way Is to look upon our
lives as having other and higher re-
.lations, to feel that while we are
creatures of earth and time, we are
the sons OF the living God: that while
we labor at the task Of the hour we
are building for eternity; that while
we strive to do our duty and work
for the right the whole spiritual uni
verse Is at our feet. So in every hour
Of encouragement and doubt, in the
hour of seeming defeat and humil;
iation let us utter together the prayer
OF the prophetic ord open our eyes
