courage shown by Mr. Bligh Bond in the publication of a work which

_GLASTONBURY_


    _Grey among the meadows, solitary, bare:
    Thy walls dismantled, and thy rafters low,
    Naked to every wind and chilly air
    That steeps the neighbouring marsh, yet standest thou,
    Great cloistral monument of other days!
    Though marked by all the storms that beat thee through,
    A radiant Parable of heavenly ways
    That scarce thy lordly builders guess'd or knew!
    Vanishing image of great service done,
    Smiling to God under the open sky:
    Even in thy translation, stone by stone,
    Keeping thy spirit-grace and symmetry,
    Through ruined clerestory and broken rood
    Our chastened souls with tears ascend to God._

  A. M. BUCKTON: from _Songs of Joy_.

 "_Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek
 that ye may excel to the edifying of the church._

 "_Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he
 may interpret._

 "_For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my
 understanding is unfruitful._

 "_What is it then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with
 the understanding also._"

  I COR. xiv. 12-15.
