Pagina 25 - Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and mind, and soul, and strength.
Pagina 348 - 11 tell me my secret The ages have kept ? I awaited the seer While they slumbered and slept " The fate of the manchild, — The meaning of man, — Known fruit of the unknown, — Dtedalian plan.
Pagina 111 - Brethren, the days of want and despondency ; and " all things whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.
