BE OF GOOD CHEER.
CRISES
There are moments in a lifetime, Lurid as the shafts that fly, When the Storm-god’s loosened ar- / rows
Flash across the midnight sky. Moments crammed with revelation In their all-revealing hue, Piercing unsuspected armour, And the false we thought was true Flashes of the vision splendid, Longed-for, and at last revealed ; And we know the fight is worth it, Though we perish on the- field. There are moihents in a lifetime, Fraught with such immensity ■ They are plucked from Time's frail fingers, Destined for Eternity.
—G. S. Astins

Oh! looking in remembrance down the reaches Of years my feet have trod, Not one hath lack, not one but surely teaches The Providence of God. —J. R. Lowell.
