Things Everlasting. This lesson I learn from the past: tl.j.t grace and goodness, the fair, the noble, and tho true, will nover ccasa out of tho world till God from whom they emanate ceases out of It; that the sacred duty and noble office of tho poot Is to roveal and Justify them to men, that as long as the soul endures, ondurea also the themo of new and un-eampltrtl un-eampltrtl 3ong; that whllo thero la graco lu gTace, love In lovo, and beauty In boauty, God will still send poets to find them, and bear witness of them, and to hang their ideal portraitures In the gallery of memory. God with us lb forecr the mystical name of the hour that Ib passing. Tho lives of the groat poets teach ub that they were the men of their generation who felt mod deeply the meaning of tho present. pres-ent. James Rua6ll Lowell.
