 constituents of this material universe around you, that they 

 may react on your thoughts and guide them into good and

 look with reverence on every flower which enlivens your 

 path, and with means and opportunity to explore its most 

 intimate structure, you may be lifted above the commonplace 

 things of this world, — above the waxen flowers, the worship 

 of the passing hour, — to find at last that peace of mind 

 which passeth all understanding. 



He prayeth best, who loveth best 



All things both great and small ; 

 For the dear God who loveth us, 



He made and loveth all.
