TRUTH.
GOD'S truth is in the mystery of things. And power is in the frailness He has wrought; So feeling hearts have songs of noblest thought When gentlest touches come upon the strings, The purple hour of vesper-worship brings Soul-flights less high than flowering meads have brought; And in the world no surpliced one has taught What hearts may learn from lairds' low carolings, God lives in all the fairness He has made, And holy are the frailties of His hand; And I am wise when I have full obeyed 'file promptings I can little understand; And I am strong when. I have wept and grayed ■ ■ And loved the weakness of a woman's hand.
EDWIN LATHAM QUARLES, in Smart Set.
