PLEASANTLY KEPOHTED FOB SUNDAY’S CALI. Os all the myriad moods of mind That through the soul come trooping, \hich one was ever so dear, so kind, So beantifal as Longing ? The thing we long for, that we are J For one transcendent moment, '* j J Before the present poor and bore' Can make its sneering comment Still through our paltry atir and strife, Glows down the wished Ideal, And Longing moulds in clay what Life Caryes in the marble Real, To let the new life in, we know, Desire must ope the portal— Perhaps the longing to be so Helps make the soul immortal. Longing is God's fresh heavenward will With our poor earthward striving; We quench it that we may be still Content with merely living; But, would we learn that heart’s fall scope, Which we are hourly wronging; Our lives must climb from hope to hope And realize our longing. Ah ! let us hope that to our praise Good God not only reckons The moment when we tread Bis ways, But when the Spirit beckons— That some slight good is also wrought Beyond self-satisfaction, When we are simply good in thought, However we fail in action. -Lowell. * • * There was a delightful circle of guests assembled at the home of Mrs. Whitley Kincaid when she entertain ed at a charming luncheon in honor of the Young Matron’s Cooking Club ■on Tuesday of the past week.
