MAY TWENTY-SIXTH The Venerable Bede died 735. Count Nicolas Ludwig Zinzendorf born 1800. Capel Lofft died 1821. Let us disengage ourselves from care about the passing things of time; let us soar above our worldly possessions. The bee does not less need its wings when it has gathered an abundant store, for if it sink in the honey, it dies. --Saint Augustine. Perhaps if we could penetrate nature's secrets, we should find that what we call needs are more essential to the well-being of the world than the most precious grain or fruit. --Nathaniel Hawthorne. We trust the Lord in faith serene, A ladder he hath given; The lower rounds in earth are seen, The higher reach to heaven. --Thomas Brevior. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? --Matthew 6. 25. Almighty God, I bless thee for the privilege of a great life. May I not be satisfied to rest with idle hands in youth and make age regretful because I have lived a useless life: but with a clear eye and an exalted mind may I choose the "durable satisfactions" that may be mine. Amen.
