THE THINGS UNSEEN.

By London Spectator

WE babble much of proof—let us talk less ; We can but prove the lesser, lower things—Things further from us : when God's blessedness Dwells in us, as the light in dew, it brings An instant recognition. How should I Stand outside self (one little half within), With testing rod in hand, with "how" and "why" On the wise lip, and in this mood begin To measure out the half of self, and call The weak result the truth? Does not our need That clamors most for the Unknown, which Paul Declared at Athens once forever, plead That, by its strong demand, its tears and cries, Too near ourselves for proof He ever lies?

—London Spectator.
