GIFTS OF THE GODS

Like that which Demosthenes swung,
But he wastes it in Dragging
And knocking and nagging,
Till at last it is only a tongue!
Yet it might have been polished and potently
If used like the one which Demosthenes owned
The meanest mans vision
Might have the precision
Which Angelo used in his art
But he dulls it in prying
And shopping and spying,
Till its fineness and firmness depart.
It, too, might have modelled its dome to the sky
Had it had the training as Angeles eye.
The average human
Might have the
Which Shakespeare meshed into his lines,
But he frivols his passion,
He fits with the fashion,
And follows the dulest designs.
Yet who may deny that he might not have learned
The freshness and funess which Shakespeare dscerned
Who knows what per centum
Of mental momentum
We throw to the winds every day?
We fret and retard it,
We scrap and discard it,
Till it drivels and frvos away
Yet could conserve this gift of the gods,
Scarce of heaven itself need we ask any odds!

church enters into the fellowship of
Jesus they will like Him. feel that
they have meat that the world know

the Lord Of the harvest" A careless
prayerless church is a thing to be des-
pissed and cast out rs unworthy of the
smile or favor of God.
