What though no human voice or sound Amid their radiant orbs be found? To Reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing as they shine, The hand that made us is divine.
"Because, the young squire says," Anthony made his voice mysterious. "Yes, yes," Rhoda stopped him; "and I consent:" she gave a hurried half-glance behind her. "Come, uncle. Oh! pity! don't let me think your reason's gone. I can get you the money, but if you go foolish, I cannot help you." Her energy had returned to her with the sense of sacrifice. Anthony eyed her tears.
The faggot has fallen from the hand of the saintly fanatic and the branding iron from the loving grasp of the benevolent bigot, while Superstition, that once did rule the world with autocratic sway, can only shriek her impotent curses forth and flourish her foolish boycott at Reason's growing flame.
The logical, well-informed man who to-day becomes a church communicant does not so because of the doctrine promulgated by the average pulpiteer, but despite of it. The long night of intellectual slavery has not altogether passed, but on the higher hills already flame the harbingers of Reason's glorious morn.
He desires only to confer and offer his understanding of the Scriptures on both sides, answering reason's objections, and manifesting the truth for the conjoining, uniting, and reconciling of all parties in love. And that he has not been wholly unsuccessful we may believe when we hear one of Behmen's ablest commentators writing of his Election as 'a superlatively helpful book, and again, as a 'profoundly instructive treatise. The workman-like way in which Behmen sets about his treatment of the Election of Grace, commonly called Predestination, will be seen from the titles of some of his chapters.
"All nature is but art unknown to thee; All chance, direction which thou canst not see; All discord, harmony not understood; All partial evil, universal good. And spite of pride, in erring reason's spite, One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right." The chief merit of the poem consists in throwing into polished form many of the views current at the time, so that they may be easily understood.
Had honest Plutarch here been toping, He then so long had ne'er been groping To find, according to his wishes, Why oracles are mute as fishes At Delphos. Now the reason's clear; No more at Delphos they're, but here. Here is the tripos, out of which Is spoke the doom of poor and rich.

"Call it a ride, if you will, but leave the boar out for reason's sake, as he would leave us out ere we were so much as on his track." She gave him a sidelong glimpse of her wonderful eyes, and drooped her head like a lily grown heavy on its stem. "Would that be so great a misfortune then?" she murmured. "Do you think it unpleasant to be passing your time at my side?"
If any attempt is to be made to patch up an idle system in policy or legislation, or church government, it is by a member of the University: if any hashed-up speculation on an old exploded argument is to be brought forward 'in spite of shame, in erring reason's spite, it is by a Member of the University: if a paltry project is ushered into the world for combining ancient prejudices with modern time-serving, it is by a Member of the University.
