1911-12] USING one's eyes 55 



a young man who was in the assembly spoke up and said, 

 ''You have been saying that where the four parts of the single 

 tower are, there should be added four slender spirals, and in 

 the place where the clumsy wooden cross now stands, there 

 ought to be a tower grander and more beautiful than all the 

 rest. In the public archives is a plan calling for all these things. 

 Who told you of this?" Goethe answered, ''Nobody, I have 

 fallen in love with the tower and have been communing with 

 it, and it told to me its secret." 



I like to think that the seers and prophets of the olden days, 

 with Jesus of Nazareth at their head, have looked beyond the 

 things which are seen and temporal to those things which are 

 unseen and eternal. That they, or He, at any rate, has looked 

 above the falling bird and the growing lily to Him who feeds 

 and clothes all his creatures. That they have looked at 

 nature and at human nature, at the great facts of life and of 

 death and have dared to write above and underneath and 

 through them all the mighty, the inspiring words of God and 

 Immortality !
