NORTH SHORE BREEZE 33 
is not dark and dreary. ‘Tissot in his 
_ great paintings shows us the glory of the 
mountain tops. On the road of the 
deal life be content with few compan- 
ions, to be even often alone. In soli- 
tude a past thought, a written line, a 
strain of song, a memory, a voice comes 
back to us kindling things within us that 
_ never burn ina crowd. 
What were the meditations of Jesus 
there in his solitude? What were his 
 yaried thoughts and emotions, who shall 
say? 
Perhaps he thought of the bondage 
and the emancipation. © The drifted 
mounds showed him where lay the skeli- 
tons of aburied host. He hears idola- 
trous shouts and a man’s face white with 
passion as he hurls, to the earth the 
tablets of the law, and these fragments at 
his feet may be the very fragments laid 
bare by the last whirlwind of the sandy 
wastes. Now it is a people devout, 
then apostate; now it is victory, then 
direct defeat. The Holy City is under 
the dominion of heathen Rome. He, 
their Messiah, is here but they will reject 
him. He sees the city beleagued and 
within its walls mothers are slaying their 
emaciated infants for food. The sacred 
shekinah is sacked. The sacred scrolls 
are cut to shreds. The glorious temple 
of Solomon, grander than ever, is in 
flames; the molten gold of her pinnacles 
pours over the eaves to spatter upon the 
bloody pavements below. Calvary is a 
forest of crosses and he hears the agony 
of.the fathers and sons of Israel who 
cried, “‘crucify him!’’ The hallowed 
place of the high priest is now hushed, 
the haunt of the wild beast, and he hears 
the echos that linger around ruined 
walls. Nation rises against nation. The 
peoples of the earth revel in lusts until 
the very stars blush in shame. And in- 
to the soul of the solitary Savior there 
swept the tide of an infinite sorrow. 
But there was atranshguring joy in the 
final result of his passion for a lost 
world. The new life has dawned never 
to be conquered again. Through the 
silence and the struggle he heard the 
coming songs of the saved and sanciti- 
fied hosts of christendom echo along the 
bleak walls of the Moab mountains, and 
there, in the solitary place there broke 
the glory of the day we still anticipate 
and he ‘‘saw of the travail of his soul 
and was satisfied.’’
