KENNETT SQUARE.

No matter who lives or dies, who goes | Sometimes glimpses on my sight,

up or who goes down, What is truth? Through present wrong, the eternal right; must be and ever is the supreme inquiry And step by step, since time began, of honest and teachable spirits. I see the steady gain of man. Whittier"The Chapel of the Hermits."

Joseph Parker.

To pray against temptations, and yet to The clouds which rise with thunder,

rush into occasion, is to thrust your fingers into the fire, and then pray they might not be burned.

Secker.

A man's charity to those who differ from him upon great and difficult questions will be in the ratio of his own knowledge of them-the more knowledge the more charity. Norman Macleod.

Great hearts alone can understand how much glory there is in being good.

Michelet.

The mystery d mly understood,

That love of God is love of good,

slake

Our thirsty souls with rain;
The blow most dreaded falls to break
From off our limbs a chain.

Whittier "All's Well."

Nothing fails of its end. Out of sight sinks the stone

In the deep sea of time, but the circles

sweep on,

Till the low-rippled murmurs along the shores run,

And the dark and dead waters leap glad in the sun.

Whittier "The Quaker Alumni.”

I know no great men except those whe

That Book, and Church, and Day are have rendered great services to the

given

For man,uot God-for earth, not heaven

The blessed means to holiest ends,
Not masters, but benignant friends.

Whittier "The Meeting."

Duty well done adds to the moral and

The tangled skein of will and fate,
To show what metes and bounds should
stand

Upon the soul's debatable land,
And between choice and Providence,

i ellectual stature. Opportunity grasped
and used is the key to larger privileges. Divide the circle of events.

Anon.

Thou wilt never be inwardly religious, unless thou pass over other men's matters with silence, and look especially to thyself. Thomas a Kempis.

Whittier "Snow Bound."

True religion shows its influence in every part of our conduet; it is like the sap of a living tree, which penetrates the most distant boughs.
