LOVE IS THE ELECTRIC LAW OP LIFE 229 



may work and hope, for fame is waiting with willing 

 laurels for souls aglow with the fires of love and 

 genius, who are destined to be torch bearers along 

 the highways of heavenly harmonies. 



The heaven of all the heavens above, 

 The god of all the gods is Love. 



Carlisle, that rugged old thinker, declared that 

 man should imitate his maker and " Create, create, 

 create." This is the chief object of life. Not alone 

 in the propagation of his race, but to build houses 

 and temples, erect monuments, write books, fertilize 

 deserts, and cause the earth to blossom with new 

 flowers of fragrance, and new thoughts of beauty. 



In order to thus glorify life and make it a divine 

 ecstacy, and a stepping-stone to celestial worlds, 

 love must be the guiding star, and will the creative- 

 impulse. These two are the sovereign forces of the 

 universe in man and Diety; and uphold and con- 

 trol all others. 



Therefore man should make love and truth his 

 ideals, and will his sceptre of power, and with each 

 rising sun proclaim : 



"These two things should no man forget or lose 

 Or sacrifice : his will and his ideals. 

 These two things are the man. In leaving them 

 Behind him in the dust of broken dreams 

 He leaves himself. His nature is usurped. 



The lesson of all greatness is to be 



That which we are out to our farthest bounds. 



To lift the high within us higher still 



To delve our depths with a profounder depth 



To push the near horizon of our minds 



Out past immediate things to ultimate,"
