ity roll,
To find out the way of the Lord.

Ah, me! I had no interpreter
To tell me the way of the Lord;
For Nature, it was not in her
To tell me the way of the Lord.

I heard of One who came out from God
To show me the way of the Lord;
I entered the path which here He trod
To show me the way of the Lord.

I walked the way of humility
To find out the way Of the Lord;
It turned to the way of sublimity,
To show me the way of the Lord.

From grief and loss came joy and gain,
To show me the way of the Lord;
And the dead came back to life again,
To show me the way of the Lord.

Yea, into the heaven of heavens He went,
To show me the way of the Lord;
And the Comforter from the Father He sent,
To show me the way of the Lord.

I learned how for me He lived and died,
To show me the way of the Lord;
And bearing the cross, which He glorified,
_I found out the way of the Lord_:

Via Crucis.

Cross uplifted, clouds are rifted,
Vision clearer, God grown dearer!
_Via crucis via lucis_.[1]

Cross, thy way is where the day is;
Thy surprises sweet sunrises!
_Via crucis via lucis_.

Life eternal, fair and vernal,
Is the glory of the story,
_Via crucis via lucis_;

Dawns in beauty, born of duty,
Joins thereafter Heaven's sweet laughter--
_Via crucis via lucis_;

Finds probation tribulation,
Onward presses and confesses,
_Via crucis via lucis_;

Bursts the fetter of the letter,
Reckons sorrow joy to-morrow--
_Via crucis via lucis_;

To the Master in disaster
Bravely clinging, journeys singing,
_Via crucis via lucis_;

Ranges crownward, never downward,
Always loving, always proving,
_Via crucis via lucis_;

Drinks forever from the river
Everlasting, still forecasting,
_Via crucis via lucis_;

And presages all the ages,
Light-enfolden, growing golden,
_Via crucis via lueis_.

O the shinings and refinings!
O the sweetness of completeness!
_Via crucis via lucis_!

HEROES OF SCIENCE.

MICHAEL FARADAY--SIR WILLIAM SIEMENS--M. PASTEUR.

The loftiest class of scientists pursue science because they love truth.
They derive no animation from the thought o
