~ F all the voices that sound through this old world Of ours.
what voice is SO potent, so familiar. yet SO strange as the
- Voice of Love. A tiny voice it is. nothing but a whisper,
yet it calls across continents and bridges and rolling oceans. It
speaks and we must at once listen and obey if We would know
true happiness.
Happy is the maiden when she first thrills to the sound of a
tiny voice that tells her that the world is a Paradise wherein she
shall walk with her Beloved. Eagerly she listens to the strange
voice that she has never heard before, but is yet vaguely familiar
in its soft cadences. 1t is the voice Of Love to which the whole
world is attuned, a very symphony of sweetness that is the music
for the Song of Life. And so the maiden pauses while she thrills
to the strange voice.
Will the voice Of love ever thrill the maiden? Will its
cadences ever carry the song Of happiness into her heart? Love,
himself, cannot answer that question, for, unhapply, he knows
that sometimes his voice speaks words that fall on ears that find
them boring and tedious. II cannot always compete with the
voice of the world when it speaks of fame and glory, and many
a maiden has found out only too late that the voice of Love is
the Voice of Truth and that all others are false, telling of hap
piness that is but a mirage.
