In splendor flung through purple night lVe seek, O Truth, for thee! A flaming spirit born of light- Thy form we dreaming see. We blindly pass thee, lowly one, Despise thee, poor and mean, Grant us the power to search for thee, The Truth Unseen. The glorious music of thy call, So piercing sweet, O Truth, We plead to hear, subduing all The lighter strains of youth. Yet Voiceless art thou, silent one, And clamor stills thy word, O may we grasp with courage new The Truth Unheard! A blazing highway for the Truth Broad paths of sunlit gold For thee we dream, O dream of youth, A road worn ages oldl Yet springs thy path, O strangely new, In ways as yet unworng O may we, daring, follow thee, The Truth New Born! EVENING The choir gave a concert in the chapel singing selections from the Christmas and Easter music. Monday, June 5th-MORNING A concert was given by the Glee Club in the Assembly Hall at 10 o'elock. 44
