THE HIGHER LIFE.

By Dean Farrar, D.D.

"The evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars" is not lovelier than the character of him whose whole being is passed in the region of eternal realities; who knows the awful reverence which is due from every man to his own soul; who loveth the thing that is just, and doeth the thing that is lawful and right, in singleness of heart; who keeps the temple of his soul pure and bright with the presence of the Holy One; who loves all that is beautiful, whether in nature or in art; who hates whatever is ignoble, and loves his neighbor as himself. What has such a man to fear? The eternal forces are with him. His heart, his hope, his treasure are beyond the grave, and ever and anon in moments of permitted rapture, he sees the heavens open and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

—Dean Farrar, D.D.
