and gleam with the living waters.

Blame not, nor reason of, your Past,
Nor explain to Him your congenital weakness,
But come, for He is remorseless,
Call Him unjust, but come,
Do not mock or defy Him, for he will prevail.
He regardeth not you, He hath swallowed the worlds and the nations,
He hath humor, too: disease and death for the smugly prosperous.

For such is the Law, stern, unchangeable, shining;
Making dung from souls and souls from dung;
Thrilling the dust to holy, beautiful spirit,
And returning the spirit to dust.
Come and ye shall know Peace and Joy.
Let what ye desire of the Universe penetrate you,
Let Loving-kindness and Mercy pass through you,
And Truth be the Law of your mouth.
For so ye are channels of the divine sea,
Which may not flood the earth but only steal in
Through rifts in your souls.

THE END

His descriptions are wonderfully vivid and natural. His pages
are brightened everywhere with great humor; the quaint, dry
turns of thought remind you occasionally of Fielding.--_London
Times._

remarkable for their careful elaboration, the consc
