MEMORY GEMS

Let us read some striking passage,

Cull a verse from every page;
Here a line and there a sentence,
'Gainst the lonely time of age.
At our work or by the wayside,
While the sunshine's making hay;
Thus we may, by help of study,
Learn a little every day.

ANONYMOUS

All that is wise has been thought already; we must try,

however, to think it again.

GOETHE

GOD

Merciful and gracious is the Lord; long-suffering and full of kindness. PSALM CIII. 8

God hath sown His name on the heavens in glittering stars, but upon earth He planteth His name by tender flowers. JEAN PAUL RICHTER

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice
Which is more than liberty.
For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of man's mind,
And the heart of the Eternal

Is most wonderfully kind.

F. W. FABER

Nothing is superior to God; He must, therefore, govern the world. God is subject to no principle of nature; therefore He rules the whole of nature.

CICERO

This God, absolute Master of Earth and Heaven -the Eternal is His name, the world is His work; He hears the sigh of the lowly who is outraged, judges all men with equal laws, and from His high throne questions kings.

RACINE

If you wish to behold God, you may see Him in every object round; search in your breast, and you

will find Him there; and if you do not yet perceive where He dwells, confute me, if you can, and say He is not.

METASTASIO

The God who created these fair heavens with the same facility as yon green sapling; He who has bestowed on man a life of toil, of transient joys and fleeting pains-He, He is one only God! His mighty name is Jehovah! Earth's Creator and Judge! adored by Adam, first of men,-by Adam's sons, and then by Abraham, our father.

KLOPSTOCK

God is where the sun glows; God is where the violet blooms; God is where yon bird is flapping its wings; God is where this worm is moving; though no friend be with thee, fear nothing! Thy God is here.

ENGEL

So long as the word "God" endures in a language, will it direct the eyes of men upward.

JEAN PAUL RICHTER

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy

youth.

ECCLESIASTES XII. I

To pious minds each verdant leaf displays
A volume teeming with th'Almighty's praise.

FROM THE ARABIC

God asks not "To what sect did he belong?" But "Did he do the right or love the wrong?"

FROM THE ARABIC

God is attracting our regard in and through all things. Every flower is a hint of His beauty, every grain of wheat is a token of His beneficence, every atom of dust is a revelation of His power.

W. H. FURNESS

The infinity of God is not mysterious, it is only unfathomable-not concealed, but incomprehensible. It is a clear infinity-the darkness of the pure, unsearchable sea. JOHN RUSKIN

Know that thou art always in God's presence.

THE TALMUD

Reverence of God is the basis of morality.

THE TALMUD

Let never day or night unhallowed pass,
But still remember what the Lord hath done.

SHAKESPEARE

The highest perfection of human reason is to know that there is an infinity beyond its reason.

PASCAL

Whatever God does is done for our good.

THE TALMUD

"Before me," said the Lord, there is no difference between Jew and Gentile; him that accomplishes good will I reward accordingly."
