18 NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
beyond the licentious groves of cypress the pure reign 
of Christ, and Augustine saw above his cross-emblaz- 
oned banners visions in the sky. 
The church in all ages has this far look and it rests, 
refreshes, and clarifies its vision. 
It was a far, far look from the Cross to the throne of 
world Redeemership, but Jesus looked down the vast 
reaches of the centuries and He ‘‘saw of the travail of his 
soul and was satisfied.’’ It is a far look still to the 
world’s highway of holiness upon which shall walk the 
redeemed of the Lord, a far look for the sinful soul of 
man to the exalted children of the Most High, but let us 
keep the celestial heights in view, it will help us to at- 
tain unto higher and holier living. 
A clear atmosphere is essential to the far look. This 
is vital in matters of the eyesight. If fogs and gloom 
should constantly hide the distant horizon the eyes 
would ache and the head would throb with dull pains. 
And so it is with the soul’s vision. Never send fogs and 
depressing shadows over the landscape of a soul. 
How clear are the hills at times. I could see 
the highest hills between the Alleghenies and the Rockies 
from the windows of our parsonage in Wisconsin. How 
cameo-cut against the clear sky they stood at times, but 
only in a clear atmosphere. I have scaled a point here 
on the North Shore and had a view into three states on 
one side and a great sweep of the Atlantie on the other.

I ean see from the hills here Provincetown, forty-five 
miles out at sea. I can also mount up and get a view of 
the heavenly hills; but all only in a clear atmosphere. 
I hear a strange sweet throb of music or song and I 
am lifted where visions unfold afar. TI listen to “some 
profound truth clearly and eloquently set forth and it. 
is as when the sun leaps from the clouds on a dull day 
and as when the lightning shimmers along the distant 
mountain range on a dark night. 
You need the far spiritual look unto the hills from 
whence and nowhere else cometh your help. Beyond 
all the sorrows and sufferings of sin are the heights of 
infinite and eternal merey and grace and love. 
*‘TIt is only that you look and live.’’ These delicate 
organs of sight can stand a tremendous strain if we 
only know how to rest them. So these sensitive souls 
can stand a tremendous strain of trial and temptation 
if we only rest them at times by the far look of Christian 
faith. | 
As the artist transfers the glory of the hills to his ean- 
vas, as the astronomer transfers the story of the stars 
to his sensitized plates, so let us transfer the strength of 
the celestial hills to the soul. 
The eye of the astronomer is keen, the eye of the tele- 
scope is keener, but with most marvelous power the eye 
of faith penetrates all inter-stella spaces and sees God.
