Then be ye not idolatrous, nor bow In worship unto things unseen or seen, But bide your lot with clear, unclouded brow, And child-like trust the powers that e'er have been; They're watching o'er us all with vision keen And love unquenchable forevermore; In turn, they ask our love, our faith serene, And wait to welcome us, when earth is o'er, To homes of peace and bliss on Heaven's eternal shore. [Illustration: FINIS] Transcriber's Notes: Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected. The following discrepancies have not been changed: Page 6: "So claiming should bow down before the good." was not indented as were the other last-lines in this section of the book. Page 10, last line: "Quite soon returns to make its victims bleed;" included a hand-written change that replaced "victims" with "authors". Page 36: "Bow not to books, nor saviors, nor aught" included a hand-written change that inserted "to" before "aught." All of the illustrations are simple tailpieces.
