Psychology

Then we began 10 pick out the
consultations in which they had
their place. Before the summers
end we extended our observations
to include all the consultations visi-
BILE at that time OF year.
Often during the day We longed
for evening TO come. that we might
renew acquaintance with our starry
friends and make fresh discoveries.
No longer were the heavens to US
merely a mass OF glowing dots.
North, south, east and west, We
could discriminate, could find our
way.
To see Vega loom out overhead
after the setting of the sun was al.
most like the coming OF an old com
rade.
Let me assure you that IL you are
as ignorant OF the stars as we were
when We began 10 study them, you
will find in starstudy. as we did,
the joy OF romantic exploration and
the thrill OF achievement.
Also you will find quickened in
you the spirit of imagination. the
poetic impulse and appreciation OF
the grandeur and majesty OF Gods

That n servant cannot shirk.
Though nobody ever sees them.
And only tn" dear Lord cares
That they always are done In the

Would he take me unawares?
II my Lord should come at MONDAY.
The time OF the dust aud heat.
When the glare is white. and the

And the hoof-heats sound In the

And smiled In my tired eyes.

Would he take me ny surprise?

In the fragrant dew and dusk,
when tho world drops off It's mantle
or daylight Ike a husk
And flowers In wonderful beauty.
And we fold our hands and rest.
Would his touch Of my hand. his

Bring me unhopcd-for zest7

And the daily load grows lighter,
The daily cares grow sweet;
For the Master ~ near. the Master
