I would hate that death bandaged my eyes, and forebore, And bade me creep past. BROWNING'S PROSFXCE. Through dragging days that agonized the soul; Through nights grown'blacker with a hopeless pain And weary weeks that closer bound the chain, He watched the shape that stalks beyond control. His life behind him elike an outstretched whole Of vast achievement flashed along the brain; But forward through the years he looked in vain For all he hoped might crown it at the goal. And yet with steady will and changeless eye. Like some strong prophet that had conduered fear, He watched the face'of death with courage high; Surpassing him who lifts a sudden cheer Where others also fall, and fight, and diee Assured that past the terror dawn shines clear. HORACE SPENCER FISKE. 21

touch of nature made all kin; and the leader who brought them physically near by his strength, made them spiritually one by his weakness and pain. And since he believed so unhesitatingly in immortality, since each day grew clearer his faith that somehow, somewhere his work was to continue, shall we not make that faith our own? Quietly he said: I feel less hesitation in advancing into the unseen than I had in accepting the Presidency. His life is not to be understood apart from that basal conviction. For myself, without reference to the faith of the fathers, I find it wholly incredible that that titanic strength which changed for some of us our horizon and our career, has vanished from the universe. Taught as we have been from our youth to believe in the indestructibility of force, in the conservation of energy, surely for us to believe that the end of all service has come to our dead leader would be as great an affront to our intelligence as a mockery to our heart. We dare with John Fiske to affirm that belief in the hereafter, which is simply, uan act of faith in the reasonableness of God's work. Dr. Harper's last service was to make immortality more credible. Yes, in some far-shining sphere, Conscious or not of the past, Still thou performest the word Of the Spirit in whom thou dost live- Prompt, unwearied as here! Still, like a trumpet, dost rouse Those who with half-open eyes Tread the border-land dim l'wixt vice and virtue; reviv'st, Succourtstlethis was thy work, This was thy life upon earth. 20
