LIVE NOT TO YOURSELF. 163 
still more distinct and striking, you will go to the 
garden of Gethsemane, and hear the Redeemer 
in prayer, while the angel of God strengthens him. 
You will read it on the hill of Calvary, where a 
voice, that might be the concentrated voice of the 
whole universe of God, proclaims that the highest, 
noblest deed which the Infinite can do, is to do 
good to others — to live not to himself. 
Rev. J. Todd. 
O, sweet the jasmine’s buds of snow 
In morning soft with May ; 
And sweet, in summer’s silent glow, 
The brooklet’s merry play; 
But sweeter, in that lovely place, 
To God it must have been 
To see the maiden’s happy face 
That blessed the home within. 
Without the porch, I hear at morn 
A voice that sings for glee, 
Or watch the white face glancing down 
To the book upon the knee.
