, do you see those dear onesWhose robes doth sparkle like the diamonds?With beautiful crowns that are so bright,They send forth waves of beauty and light. Their beauty surpasses all earthly things,In the glad sunlight how their faces beam!Ah, they are holding out their beautiful hands,Calling their dear ones to those heavenly lands. Hark! do I hear the echoes, back from earth there,Borne on the wings of solemn prayer?Yes, dear ones were coming that wayTo join in the praises of endless day. Our prayers by the angels are whispered to them,See those angelic smiles as they sing again.Sisters and brothers have gone before,Fathers and mothers are waiting on that shore. There^s our rosy-cheeked darling holding out her hands,Come, papa and mamma, to these beautiful lands.There rests a husband or a wife.Watching the dear ones on the Path of Life. When we are done with time and our struggles are all oer,Through Gods grace well meet them again on that shore. 196 VERSES FROM MY Course of Lectures

THE UNIVERSE.The Heavens declare Gods glory to be,In the millions of suns, the stars we see;Night unto night His great wisdom is shownIn the planets and comets, meteors and moon. PLANET NEPTUNE.Who is this ferryman on yonder waves,— Can the great depths answer me?With his fishers spear so true and brave, Hes called the God of the Seas. PLANET SATURN.Who is this with gray locks so fair, That wieldeth his power over all creation?He ho
