Look Up

lieve that there is eternal war set between our intellectual faculties and our spiritual intuitions. I, for one,admit no such radical vice in the constitution of things." It will probably be found, as maintained by Kant, that the hope of eternal life must not look to reason for the source of its life; but is it thinkable that man must hold such a hope in the face of reason? I prefer to believe that these contradictions result from the attempt to wed truth and error, —the revelations of Jesus Christ with the speculations of heathen philosophy; that the early Christian thinkers, whose mission it was to develop out of Christ's doctrines a philosophy consistent with Christian hopes and aspiration, were so steeped in the vagaries of metaphysics as to be blind to those fundamental principles of human existence which would have united into one eternal perspective all the truths discoverable by the race, whether by head or by heart; which thesis I shall try to maintain in part II of this paper. Worcester, Mass. LOOK UP. {For the Improvement Era.) When thy heart is sad and weary, Look up! When the world is cold and dreary, Look up! Beckoning hope, in gentle beauty, Doth abjure thee, "Do thy duty." Never lagging, Never flagging, Though the powers of hell assail thee, Though thy prayers do naught avail thee, Still look up! Battle! God will not forsake thee ! A stronger vessel he would make thee; His blessings surely will o'ertake thee. Look thou up! Ruth May Fox. Salt Lake City, Utah.
