How
consistently did the master Christian, Christ Jesus, practice the truth! How perfectly did he prove that he could be in the world but not of it! He walked among his fellow-men, listening to their rehearsals of inharmony and disease, but always so conscious of good as the only reality as to heal all who came to him for healing.

A sigh for peace,A prayer of hope,An answ'ring gleam of Love divine!A ray of Truth,A shaft of light,Which penetrates the darkened thought!A joyous cry,I see! I see!And all is well again—'t is day!
