…ask Thy potent prayer in our distress ; We nerve us for the royal task And sink supine in feebleness. The Eye of Heaven to us is blind ; Time is so sad, and earth so grey ; But by Thine influence we find One steadfast star to shew the way. Thine is the sympathetic balm That eases from Life’s bruising rod ; And Thine the meek eternal calm That brings our souls in tune with GOD Amen. O 79
…riori and on hearsay.” Then they both rose up against him, and cursed him. “ Unscientific balderdash!” said the Water Man, for the first time speaking respectfully of Science. “‘Blasphemous Nonsense!” said the Inhabitant, for the first time speaking respectfully of Religion. “Wait and see,” said the Judge ; for he was a just Judge. Then the Man with the Microscope explained the uses of this new and strange instrument. And the Judge patiently investigated all sources of error, and concluded in the end that the instrument was a true revealer of t…

THE GATE OF THE SANCTUARY. 81 So shall the angel faces watch for your own souls still. A little pain and pleasure, a little touch of time, And you shall blindly reach to the subtle and sublime ; You shall gather up your girdles to make ready for the way, And by the Cross of Suffering climb seeing to the Day. Then we shall meet again in the Presence of the Throne, Not knowing ; yet in Him ! O Thou ! knowing as we are known.
…d to growl and groan and grunt Because he could not ease a sub-editors mind when the paper was a column short and only an hour to press-time. Force so renewed his vital powers That he could keep it up for hours ; And now he wallows in a bluebook, The people call him Sunny Jim. [116]
THE EQUINOX There was a silence. “ Excuse me, father, ” said the girl at last, “ but I’ve just had a glimpse of you for the first time in my life, and it’s a bit ofa shock. I must think. ” And she stood motionless until her hapless father attracted her attention by backing into his wicker chain “ Don't touch holy things," she snapped suddenly, taking the sketch from his nerveless hand, and replacing it reverently in the portfolio. The action seemed to decide heri "I'll give you an address to send my things to, ” she said, and walked out of the g…

…e should continue assiduously for at least one year. The quickness of the chela in gathering up the objects is expected to increase with time. The practice need not be limited to a quarter of an hour thrice daily after a time, but increased with discretion. Care must be taken to detect the first symptom of fatigue, and to stop, if possible, even before it threatens. The practised psychologist learns to recognise even minute hesitations that mark the forcing of the attention. 2. Alternating with the above, let the Practicus begin this practice B…

32 The best way to time the breathing, once some little skill has been acquired, with a watch to bear witness, is by the use of a mantra. The mantra acts on the thoughts very much as Pranayama does upon the breath. The thought is bound down to a recurring cycle; any intruding thoughts are thrown off by the mantra, just as pieces of putty would be from a fly-wheel; and the swifter the wheel the more difficult would it be for anything to stick. This is the proper way to practise a mantra. Utter it as loudly and slowly as possible ten times, then no…
…urope-except Russia and Turkey, which spiritually, at least, are in Asia-or America, without a passport; when we complained that closing time was twelve-thirty a.m.; when there was little or no class bitterness, the future seemed secure, and only Nonconformists failed to enjoy the fun that bubbled up on every side. Well, in those days there were Music-halls; I can't hope to explain to you what they were like, but they were jolly. (I'm afraid that there's another word beyond the scope of your universe!) At the Empire, Leicester Square, which at …
…language, barren and false and bleak, While our white arms could link each other so, And fond red lips their partners mutely seek ? What time for language, when our kisses flow Eloquent, warm, as words are cold and weak ?— Or now—Ah ! sweetheart, even were it so We could not speak !

But he kept it free from rust, sharp and glittering bright, so that when the time came wherein he should be called upon to use it, it might leap forth from its sheath like a flash of lightning from betwixt the lips of God, and slay him who had ventured to cross his path, silently, without even so much as grating against his bones.

…ty Passion played with all his toys and broke them, good little Patience put them carefully aside. Bunyan forgets to mention that by the time Passion had broken all his toys, he had outgrown them. Karma does not act in this tit-for-tat way. An eye for an eye is a sort of savage justice, and the idea of justice in our human sense is quite foreign to the constitution of the Universe. Karma is the Law of Cause and Effect. There is no propor- tion in its operations. Once an accident occurs it is impossible to say what may happen ; and the Universe …
