CHARLES C. SANDELIN.

No faith is living faith indeedThat from earth's fetters is not freed;A faith that builds on moving sand,Thereon Truth's temple cannot stand!Faith in the things the senses know,Faith in this world's deceitful show,Such faith no mountains can remove,And never may Truth's power prove.
Poem
