1896.] ~UBURBAN MoB.NtNG. 219
attainment of the race has so narrowed antl dwarfed the true
epiritual aspirations of man, that he finds it almost imposaible
to overcome the tendencies of the old animal self, which desires
to be chief and foremost among men. He must oonvt'rt, if be
would be a dweller in the celestial kingdom, whose inhabitants
alway• receive thosE'! who, through sorrow and tribulation, have
endured and overcome, whose garments have beeu washed and
made clean, who have renounced all the vanities of earth, in
order that they may be united with God the Father and Christ
the Son.
We wiah we could go deeper into this subject, as it ia of
vital importance to the student, bnt Rpace d~ not permit.
We will, thereforE', say in conclusion, as Jesus said to Nicodemus,
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of
water and of the Spirit, he oannot enter into the kingdom
of God."
SUBURBAN MORNING.
Wb.t in the robin'R voir.e;
What in the twilight echoing;
What in the bars of cloud ar.rou the morn ;
This is to feel new horn.
Solemnity is sought by rules.
Re-birth in pantomimic atrugglings.
The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth ;
The air that moveR o'er violets from the- south.
God at his nature'R best is town
And country, and the space all quivering
With neither and with both ; where eaeh doth ceue ;
Where r.ity mnrmnr bleudR with country peace.
• Tis there the robin's voir.e,
And the stirred twilight echoing,
And the bars of MtirleHS cloud aeroes the morn,
Make for the life new horn.
E. J. Howa.
A wi11e man alway11 determines the trne from the false, by
the divine law of nae. A foolish man, knowing nothing of this
law, frequently condemnR truth and accepts error, thereby
causing much suffering. whi~h is the penalty of broken law.
