What to Behold

By Eliza H. Morton

WHAT we see with the natural eyes helps in the formation of character. The vision is refined and the life uplifted by looking for the beautiful. A man who had been rushing across a field was accosted by an artist, who asked him if he saw the beautiful sunset.

"No," replied the man, "I was looking for a runaway hog." We shall see in this life that to which our attention is directed. The true, the pure, and the lovely are worth beholding. If for a moment the unsightly objects of life obscure the vision, it is our privilege to look above them, and with the eye of faith to see Him who is invisible.
