that tho unlearned and unstable wrest

seems lo tno that these scriptures

which, for wtint of proper instruction,
can bo wrested bylhtui to their own

of those short words which wo cart
speak with ono pulso of the breatll

stream of time, though a long lapse of
years, und frot.i lands not our own,
has brought down to Ui a vast drift
of new mid straiten terms, poor aS

in strength move than wo gain in the
sound. Put tho good old stock of
words i not lost. They shine out

may lose its sound, it will bo all tho
more fit to speak all that tho deep
soul can feel.
The heart beats throh Iiy throb, and
thus tho tongue should keep in tune,
while it vetils Iho heart's joy and
pains. They are of life and lore of

lung; but let all that the heart think
ami lecls conic forth from tho depth
of iho soul in "thoughts thai breath

rapt bards of earth as they twang tho
