EINSTEIN.

| Or, UNDER THE BODHI TREE. Said Buddha, under the Bodhi Tree— "All is Illusion ye. hear, or see. Or taste, or smell, or handle: naught is real, save Mind, and the power 01 Therefore from work nnd strife refrain, But meditate deeply, all else Is It's Wisdom alone can make you Tree, Said Buddha, under the Bodhi Tree. "Through life on life ye may toll ana strain, . But never to perfect truth attain. Shadows of shades ye grope around And search for that which can no er be found. No perfect knowledge this earth can give; Then seek Nirvana, and learn to live, True Being begins when you cease to be," Said Buddha, under the Bodhi Tree. Said Christ, by tbe waters of Galilee: "My Kingdom is not of tbe world ye see. In ii purer clime that Kingdom lies, Unseen, eternal, ln the skies. Fleeting nnd false are things of earth. But heavenly joys have lasting worth. Are ye weary or thirsty? Then come to Mc," Said the God-like Man of Galilee. "Seek ye and find; but seek ye first The Kingdom of God; and be your thirst For Righteousness, Mercy, Teace and Love. And the glorious, endless life above. Your earthly treasures are dust and dross, And the life below is but pain and loss. It Is only the Truth enn set you free," Said Jesus, the Christ, of Galilee. Said Paul, as he tended the Gospel Tree: "Here but In part do we know or see; With our fleshly eyes we behold things pass, Dimly and darkly, as in a glass. Nothing abides, save Faith and Hope. And Love that has deepest and highest scope." Saints, seers and poets full many agree With Paul, who was blinded that he might see! Einstein, a-top of the Knowledge Tree, Says: "Men of Science, come list to mc. Ye have not discovered one perfect law; In your every 'fact' is a fault or flaw: Ye search, observe, and measure and weigh But at every turn into Error stray. "" ' There is naught ye can certainly know or see In the murky shade of the Knowledge Thus Science, by long and dusty ways Has reached at length, in these latter days To the truth that seers of old-time taught! V» c are things of a day, and our knowled"e naught: ° But God. the Sole Scientist, great is He" As proclaimed by the Christ of Galilee- ' By Paul, who was blinded that he might see; And by Buddha, under the Bodhi Tree. —i, LIDDELL KELLY.
