"Such is the bliss of souls serene, / When they have sworn, and steadfast mean, / Counting the cost, in all to espy / Their God, in all themselves deny. / "Oh could we learn that sacrifice, / What lights would all around us rise! / How would our hearts with wisdom talk / Along life's dullest, dreariest walk! " / "Seek we no more; content with these, / Let present rapture, comfort, ease, / As Heaven shall bid them, come and go- / The secret this of rest below. "-_Christian Year._
