ECHO GRADATIM Heaven is not reached at a single bound. Hut zee build the ladder by which we rise Tram the lately earth to the vaulted shies. And we mount to its summit round by round. I count this thing to be grandly true: That a noble deed is a stef' toward ( d Lifting the soul from the common clod To a purer air and a broader view. IVe rise by the things that are under feet: IIy what we have mastered of good and gain: IIy the pride deposed and the passion slain. And the languished ills that we hourly meet. IVings for the angels, but feel for men— IVe may borrow the icings to find our way— IVe may hope, and resolve, and aspire and pray. Hut our feel must rise, or we fall again. Only in dreams is a ladder thrown l:rom the weary earth to the sapphire walls; Hut the dreams depart, and the vision falls. And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone. Heaven is not reached at a single bound. Hut we build the ladder by which we rise l-rom the lowly earth to the vaulted shies. And we mount to its summit round by round. —Dr. J. G. Holland.
