Man is more than constitutions.

It is well for us if we have learned to listen to the sweet persuasion of the Beatitudes, but there are crises in all lives which require also the emphatic "Thou shalt not" of the decalogue which the founders wrote on the gateposts of their commonwealth.

The laws of changeless justice bind oppressor and oppressed; and, close as sin and suffering joined we march to fate abreast.

A true life is at once interpreter and proof of the gospel.

This is truth the poet sings . . .

So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn Which once he wore; The glory from his gray hairs gone For evermore!

Who fathoms the Eternal Thought? Who talks of scheme and plan? The Lord is God! He needeth not The poor device of man.
