Page 120 - I wage not any feud with Death For changes wrought on form and face; No lower life that earth's embrace May breed with him, can fright my faith. Eternal process moving on, From state to state the spirit walks; And these are but the shatter'd stalks, Or ruin'd chrysalis of one.
Page 117 - I HEARD a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write, from henceforth blessed are the dead who die in the LORD ; even so saith the SPIRIT ; for they rest from their labours.
Page 154 - ... round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole.

Page 211 - From his cradle, He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one ; Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading : Lofty and sour to them that loved him not ; But to those men that sought him, sweet as summer.
Page 91 - Commission, of which the eminent educator, M. Buisson, was the president, and contrasted with the success in this respect of the French system. In France, says the reporter, " One embraces the career of teaching with the intention of creating for himself a stable and permanent position.
