JAMES LOGAN.

From a letter to William Penn, in 1705.

LIFE OF LIFE.

To him who is the Life of Life,
My soul its vows would pay ;
He leads the flowery seasons on,
And gives the storm its way.

The winds run backward to their caves
At his divine command,

And the great deep he holds within
The hollow of his hand.

He clothes the grass, he makes the rose
To wear her good attire,

The moon he gives her patient grace,
And all the stars their fire.

He hears the hungry raven's cry,
And sends her young their food,
And through our evil, intimates
His purposes of good.

He stretches out the north, he binds
The tempest in his care;

The mountains cannot strike their roots
So deep he is not there.

Hid in the garment of his works,

We feel his presence still

With us, and through us fathoming
The mystery of his will.

CO-OPERATION.

-Alice Cary.

Read before Swarthmore College students, Tenth month 9, 1898, by Dean Elizabeth Powell Bond.

In his letter to the Corinthians the Apostle Paul gave an impressive object-lesson upon the necessity for united labor among those whom he designated "the body of Christ, and members in particular." He made the human body the illustration, of his thought. "For," he said, "the body is not one member, but many.'

"

If the foot shall say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is therefore not of the body."

"And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, it is not therefore not of the body."

"If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?"

"But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him."

"But God hath tempered the body together, that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another." "And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it."

This is a lesson that we can all verify in our own experience. We know well how our comfort, and largely our happiness, depends upon the harmonious working together of the members of our body. However bright the sunshine may be over the face of the earth, it is a clouded morning for us that finds us with head or hand out of harmony with the other members of the body. How gladly we would detach the aching member whose distemper has taken the brightness out of the day, and melody out of all the sweet sounds-how gladly we would detach it and lay it away in solitude to heal itself for harmonious. service again. But this cannot be. The imprudence in eating or drinking, in work or in play, that makes the aching head, inevitably lays its burden upon all the members, and these must endure the process by which nature can in time restore the lost harmony.

It was to those who were consciously or unconsciously founding a new church that Paul the Apostle sent this lesson in harmonious service, earnestly entreating them to believe that they were members of Christ's body, some to be Apostles, some to work miracles, some to have gifts of healing, and all to be moved by the spirit of love. This beautiful lesson has much in it for us, at the beginning of a new college year. It is as true of the college as of the church, that we are all "members of one body," each important in his own place to the welfare of all. In our separate homes also this is true; with the difference that the separate home is a smaller body, with fewer members to be harmonized. The collegebody has nine score and more members to be brought into harmonious activity. At first thought, this would seem to be quite impossible. How can it be that more than nine score members of one body can be made to fit to one another! For our proportions as individual members are very different one from another, so different that we cannot join hands in one long row, and reach one uniform height established by law as the one correct height. There may be nine score and more points of vision, and delicacies of hearing, and degrees of self-control. height the eye takes in only the things that are close at hand, the woods that skirt the next field, and the brook by the roadside;-it does not dream of the glories that are revealed of mountains and sky and

sea by a hard climb to a higher level; it does not dream that its pleasures which are only for the hour, are poor indeed beside those joys which are rooted in the Eternal! How, then, can the far-seeing and the short-sighted fit themselves one to the other? If we were cast-iron members this could not be. But human souls, patterned after the Divine, are made for the Divine unity. The far-seeing will not scorn the narrow-vision; and there will be such light upon him from the hills of God, that others seeing the brightness will ask its source, and try the steeper climb, and find that they too were made for the higher level. One note in the harmonies that reaches the sensitive ear, is the note of infinite patience that waits the slow process of growth from infancy to maturity. If we were cast-iron members we would have to go about prodding one another with our sharp points, irritating old wounds and making new ones. But we are all dowered in greater or less degree with the divine gift of love. Paul, when he had presented his objectlesson concerning the members of the body, added: "Covet earnestly the best gifts; and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way." Then he gave them that wonderful discourse on the power of love—" If | I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.'

Is

Here, then, is the secret of accord for the nine score and more members of the collegiate body. Paul's noble love among us? This is the crucial question for each member to measure himself by, teacher and taught. "Love doth not behave itself unseemly; love seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked." Youth is subject to sudden impulses to let go restraint, and give free course to tumultuous desires and unseasonable satisfactions; and "unseemly " behaviour among the nine score members of the college body is like grains of sand thrown among the wheels of delicate machinery. Paul's noble love withers away the germs of unseemly behaviour.

[ocr errors]

less for you than for me. I have tried to bring clearly before you that it is the spirit of coöperation alone that can make a place of peace and unity in which nine score members can work together as the collegiate body. Very keenly do I realize that only as my own soul is baptized in this noble love, can I hope to point out the way to you, and help you to see the best things in life, and help you to make hard climbs upward. It is often borne in upon me that if I could be enough loving, I could shine away all the difficulties of our coöperative life. I want you to know that I listen to Paul's message not only for what it has for you, but still more for what it has for myself.

There is one other thought which I would bring clearly before you-our coöperation with each other is our only way of coöperating with God. I believe that words stand for very little with God. I believe that you and I might rise upon our feet for the whole of this hour set apart for "religious service," as the world designates it, and say or sing over and over the words of the psalmist, "I will praise Thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto Thee. I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth," we might have this hour of words without ever reaching the ear of our Father. But I believe that we cannot have one impulse of care for each other's welfare, one effort of self-restraint that keeps us silent rather than interrupt each other's work, that its vibrations do not reach to the heart of Infinite Love. How can he care for the great temples or the rudest meeting-houses we would build to his honor, with his own forests of timber and quarries of stone! How can he care for the tones of the organ, or our spoken praises, except so far as they strengthen us to do the things he would have us do for each other—his little children. To this beautiful, loving service of coöperation with our Heavenly Father in the daily and hourly concerns of life, we are all called. There is no high nor low in this service; no respecting of persons. There is the individual tie between every human soul and the Infinite

And, as the consciousness of this close, individual relation with the Divine is cherished in our heart of hearts, it will gradually open the way to us for perfect coöperation, human and Divine.

"Love seeketh not her own." This is only another way of saying "Love delighteth to coöperate Father. | with her neighbor." He who perpetually seeks his own must go about as one with cast-iron members, thrusting aside whatever he regards as standing in his way. Among students, he who seeks his own is on the low plane of vision that cannot see beyond the moment's indulgence. It is his pleasure to throw his work to the winds, and amuse himself—it matters not to him that to his neighbor this very moment for work is like gold in his pocket, and to yield up the moment is like giving up his gold to a thief. matters not to him that his self-seeking view of things would wreck the best interests of the college. He allies himself with those whom Watts, the great English artist, has portrayed in his picture of Mam

INDIANA YEARLY MEETING. THIS was held at Waynesville, Ohio. The first session was that of Ministers and Elders, which convened on Seventh-day, at 2 o'clock p. m. Minutes were received for Abel Mills of Illinois Yearly Meeting, and for Sarah J. Price, of Baltimore Yearly Meeting. There were other visiting Friends without minutes; each one of whom by silent travail or the spoken word added strength to our gathering.

On First-day morning, as the assembly gathered Divine Presence. into the quiet, we felt the over-shadowing of the Divine Presence. The silence was broken by the words, "I trust that we all carry the sanctuary of the Lord as one man, waiting to be fed with the bread of life. We should count it a great blessing that God
